Here are two that I did. The blue one is made with one tall box (minus the top - it has a fixed middle shelf instead) up to the door top, and one wide box across the top.
The white one is a single box, with fixed top and bottom shelves some way from the actual top and bottom edges (because stairs and sloping ceiling), and a fixed middle shelf.
It's much easier to make a box in your workshop and fit it than to build every shelf in situ.
The other advantage of building it as a box is that you can drill for adjustable shelves, using a Kreg 32mm shelf pin jig. Make sure you buy the 5mm (european std) one, not the 1/4inch, or none of your nice shelf pins will fit.

I guess the easiest is
