Reconfiguring primary bath

Hi all, I have been experimenting with reconfiguring my current primary bedroom/bathroom situation. The main issue I'm trying to address is the lack of a powder room/guest bath on the first floor of my house; the existing bathroom is also teensy and somewhat dated.

I looked at doing a small addition to include a half bath, but I didn't feel the cost was justified especially since I'd eventually want to redo the primary bath anyway. As a compromise, I'm trying to come up with a bathroom that can be accessed by guests without entering the primary bedroom but remains directly accessible from the primary. I'd be eliminating two reach-in closets on the back wall of the bedroom so I can put the bed there (it's currently against the wall shared with the kitchen). I have created an open passageway that serves as a closet between the bathroom and bedroom with a pocket door for privacy.

It's such a tiny space, but curious if folks think this could work or have any other thoughts. Attaching existing plans and a quick idea of what I'm thinking. If feasible, I'd obviously involve an architect to develop the idea further as I would have to move walls, rearrange windows, etc., so just looking for high-level feedback.

Existing (scale drawing so it's not dimensioned, but the entire combined space is ~21'x11'8" and the existing bathroom is 7.5'x4.5'.



My idea:
