Logically, there's no other way to design that bathroom in a unit of that size and layout.
Since it doubles as a powder room, it obviously can't be an ensuite and only accessible from the bedroom (which would be ideal).
And at the same time you can't locate the door any other way, because an entry to the bathroom facing your kitchen/dining area is bad design (and bad Feng Shui for those so culturally inclined).
And alternative design (if the unit had more space) would have been to have the bathroom with two doors or access points - one to the bedroom directly and the other to the hallway.
But doors eat up a lot of area for one thing, and for another they typically diminish the ability to use the bathroom walls as a plumbing wall (to run your water pipes through) - of which you ideally want to have at least one to place your tub, toilet and vanity against.
It's tough, and it's not ideal but for a single person living in a unit like that it's less of a bother I suppose ( than for, say, a couple).
