The 1.8m² is intended to serve as a pantry. How do you mean "the kitchen as a hallway"? The house entrance is the door at the bottom
Then the hallway should also serve to reach the rooms. All paths to cleaning supplies, yellow bag, laundry?, tools lead through the kitchen. Since it is not even oversized in its size, it will become cramped there if every resident wants to complete their daily tasks. Where is the nice view supposed to be now? North orientation... Up is north, down, therefore opposite south is the field?
More concrete discussion not possible, see above ;)
