Abstract
An integrated wall, archistructural and desk and panel system comprises a series of modular units that integrate into a variety of configurations with a minimum number of components. The desk and panel system comprises a base wall formed of interconnected modular wall panels having a desk back panel formed of modules of the same height and width and appearance as the base wall panels, so the back of the desk can comprise a section of the base wall. The top of the desk is recessed from the vertical support members and back panel of the desk so that modular upper wall panels can be mounted on the back panel and vertical support members, as well as on the base wall panels, to selectively increase the height of the wall panel system and to create a peripheral enclosure for the desk. A hollow transverse desk support beam and hollow inclined frame members provide wiring access to the desk top. The wall structure comprises a free standing modular wall formed of interconnected modules having removable face panels and concealed interior wire storage trays that permit easy wiring access and panel to panel communication. The archistructure comprises a post and beam construction that provides vertical and horizontal wiring channels and an overhead support surface for suspended panels or doors.
