If you have the light coming in behind the screen it will cause eye-strain as you eyes are adjusting to any overall light. This will reduce the size of your eye-pupils and casue the screen to be lacking in overall brightness. This would be particularly true if the window has strong bright light entering the room behind the screen. Additional lighting is good near the screen, as is recommended with a TV screen but be wary of flourescent lighting as the frequency clashes with the frequency of the brain and is why the world of office workers has headaches. I hope your design proves sucessful. Andrew (Ex IBM Agency Director - installing in large corporates gave the experience) Lighting is the key to the whole design.

I never seem to have enough storage, so I'd go for a horseshoe arrangement with the desk right under the windows and another set of bookshelves behind. That's just me though. With the desk in the middle, you'll need to spend some extra effort hiding the cables as well. I take it you meet with people (hence the desk sticking out in the middle)?

I find that mine helps me to stay accurate when I work with colors, and eases strain on my eyes. Get a bias light installed behind your monitor.
