In pic2, could you have a layout which allows a door either side from both adjacent rooms (office and gym) ?
If so that would be my choice bc;
- No views needed for a bathroom
- Access from two rooms, so either could be a bedroom in future or sitting room and bed.
- Imo it's easier to make a kitchen on wall nice with free space behind than a gally kitchen.
- No views needed for a bathroom

Yeah, my thought with pic 2 is that the kitchen would in effect be a corridor as well connecting gym to office, so guess there would be doors either side for that. The question would be how to access the shower room, could do a door from the kitchen (negative being less room for kitchen) or from office (annoying if in gym) or from gym( annoying if in office) or from both gym and office ( would need some fancy locks to stop people walking in on each other...

So my question...
I am in the very early stages of planning our next stage of the renovation, which is converting the old cow shed (16m x 4m) into a useable building, it is currently not water tight, and half the floor is broken concrete, the other half is earth.
Things that will definitely need doing:
The aim is to make this easy to convert to a small bungalow in the future, so will be insulating etc. and all internal walls will be stud, so that is is easier to reconfigure in the future. For now it will be an office, gym and craft room, with a small shower room and kitchenette.
Thankfully the brick pillars give natural partitioning, so office, gym and craft room will all be 2 bays each, and kitchen and shower room will be one bay each. My initial thought was that each room would have its own front door (except kitchen\shower room) and there would also be internal doors to go room to room. I'm keen not to put a corridor in as it would lose space and also block light.
My main question at the moment is how to configure the kitchen and shower room, of the two options below, which do people prefer? Also open to other suggestions...
