If you just want to reproduce the windows show in that picture:

C-x 1 C-x 2 C-x 3


If you want to have automatically a specific  windows at the bottom,
even when you type C-x 1, or C-x 3 in that bottom window, I would
suggest to add code in the window-configuration-change-hook to check
the windows and re-arrange them or re-create the bottom window
everytime it's needed. (See the function window-tree and window-parameters).

Otherwise, you may explore (in emacs sources) the mini-buffer, which
stays at the bottom.
