multi-purpose workbench/ tables?

I'm building the new office building, which will have a small workshop attached to it of course. It'll have a roll-up door (insulated), heated and cooled, and I'll probably spend more time there than in my actual office, at least in my ideal world. In that ideal world I will probably have to put a couch in there so that I can watch TV, take a break, and relax with my dogs. The "desk" is going to be a workbench.

So it needs to serve multiple functions. I am no woodworker, but when pressed I can do a decent and very precise job. I just don't know wood types, special fastenting techniques (yet) and finishes. I make stuff like tables and wood bins for special purposes, mostly.

This is what I'm envisioning. What kind of wood should I use? Can I screw the thing together with deck screws and glue? I am going to have the concrete floor expansion joints filled in so the floor is smooth, with probably a colored epoxy floor. So there will be large casters on the bottom instead of just legs.

Do you guys make or have multipurpose workbenches? Pics? Ideas? Comments?
