Advice needed: Flooring issue

Greetings all (except you Steve. You can go to hell)

I am renovating a house built in 1924. At some point a "breakfast nook" was added next to the kitchen. It is roughly 8x8. I plan to turn this into a bathroom in phase 2 of the renovation (9-12 months from now).

After tearing up the peel-and-stick tiles in the kitchen and "nook" (The inventor of that stuff can rot in hell with Steve) I measured the height difference in the two rooms and the nook's floor is about 1.25 inches higher. There is a sharp incline just inside that room.

I'm laying floating laminate flooring and I don't thing it will handle the height transition well at all. Should I wall in the nook now, with the wall wedged to accept the incline, and then float the floor on either side of the wall? Or does anybody have any better ideas? I would hate to lose the use of that space while saving for the bathroom. I would just cut in a small doorway for access in and out that will be pretty fugly.

Thanks!
