central hallway
Core interior thoroughfare
A central hallway is the main corridor running through a building, typically connecting rooms on either side or linking different sections of a structure.
In homes, it often serves as the spine of the floor plan: The central hallway led from the front door past the bedrooms to the kitchen.
The term emphasizes both location and function—a primary passage rather than a secondary one.
