Help Needed: Building a Wall-Mounted Shelf

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for some advice on how to build a wall-mounted shelf based on the design in the picture I've attached (just the shelf not the desk).

Here are the specific dimensions and requirements I have in mind:

  • Length: At least 3.2 meters
  • Height: 2.3 meters, starting 0.6 meters from the ground (it will go over the back of my sofa)
  • Depth: 0.5 meters (this depth is necessary to accommodate an arch window cutout on the wall to the left before the arch begins)

One important aspect I need help with is how to securely mount the shelf to an internal brick wall that serves as a partition wall to my neighbours.

 

What type of anchors or brackets would you recommend for this? I would appreciate any tips on materials, construction techniques, or design ideas that would help me achieve this.

 

Thanks in advance for your help!
