Seeking Input on Half Bath/Office Design
Hoping to get some input on a half bath/office design. Drawings below are proposed by our architect. We are relocating our existing kitchen, which is currently in the front of the house adjacent to the foyer, into a new addition off the back of the house. The existing kitchen will become a new half bath and office.
The first picture below shows the overall redesign that details the whole house layout. Snip 3 below is a close up of the half bath/office proposal from image 1. The debate is between Snip 2 versus Snip 3.
My concern with the design in Image 1 and Snip 3 is that the bathroom opens directly onto the foyer/living room. The current rendering of Snip 3 shows a pocket door because that is what we have as a current existing doorway. I know we could minimize toilet visibility with an in swing door. But even with an in swing door, I am somewhat partial to Snip 2 that has a double door type scenario because it seems to create a little more privacy for the bathroom and it includes a mud room type nook where I would put hooks for guests to hang jackets when they come in the front door.
My husband is partial to the more simple design in Snip 3 because the office is undeniably bigger and more functional and he thinks its odd to have guests walk through a quasi closet/mudroom type area that could turn into a giant mess of jackets at a party to access the half bath.
The office would be used for remote work from home, but not much more is needed from a furniture perspective than a simple desk and chair set up. The architects desk and chair renderings in Snip 2 are way more than I would actually need. And my computer set up is way too messy for the kind of desk that would sit in the middle of a room facing a doorway, which is what seems to be how offices are configured for staging on Zillow. A desk pushed up against the wall is how I would set up my furniture in Snip 3, even with the bigger office space.
Would love to hear your thoughts and preferences on Snip 2 versus Snip 3. Thanks in advance.

hace 20 díasSnip3 is not optimal obviously.
Snip2 not sure why the "vestibule" is forced to turn like that if it's an interior wall that can be altered, but still can see into Powder Room from Living.
Without knowing all the parameters of the existing house, a couple quick thought schemes since it appears there is leeway with plumbing moving. I also did a version with a tiny bathroom and sink setup which I see is familiar in non-U.S. locations, only if it brings up any creative juices.
