Yes, I suspect that is looking most likely, my only fear is that I am in the office 8 hours a day, and given I am a middle aged man who drinks a lot of coffee, I will spend half my life getting up from my desk, walking through the kitchen and gym to get to the toilet...
I think when time comes to convert to a bungalow I would swap craft room to bedroom, gym to lounge, kitchen and bathroom make into a larger kitchen diner and then change office into bathroom, and smaller office. Hmm but then it’s a long way from bedroom to bathroom...

This place is a bit like your castle, and its out building, love what they have done here with the long kitchen.

You could make one side a shower cubicle and then make the other side a toilet/basin? Not going down the 'room' route might make it easier to comply with building regs and gives you a bigger kitchen at the same time?
Then in the future perhaps add an en-suite? You have plenty of length, but not much width? But it's your space and definitely design it for the way you'll be using it. The coffee scenario sounds annoying!
If it were me I'd have the second version with a galley kitchen with the shower room entrance from the gym. Doors either side of the kitchen (into office and gym). If it's an office you don't want to be disturbed by through traffic; gym less so. Jack and Jill bathrooms are a problem that no-one has solved perfectly.
Then if it gets converted to a house you have (from left to right): bedroom with door into lounge (was gym) with doors into shower room and galley kitchen, and then far side of galley kitchen is a door into the second bedroom (was office).
