The Devlin Design Group won the PromaxBDA Gold award in the Set Design category at the PromaxBDA Station Summit in Las Vegas this week.
This makes five years in a row that Devlin Design Group has earned the top honor. This year’s award was for its work at the Hearst-owned NBC affiliate in Orlando, Fla., WESH.
Even though the award-winning design is a high-tech storytelling environment, the team at WESH wanted the overall feel to be warm and inviting.
Tapping into local Central Florida flair was important. The inspiration for the weathered wood floor can be seen along the boardwalks of the coastal area.
The tones in the blue, orange and golden graphics surrounding the set can be witnessed in the sea and sky surrounding central Florida. The curving main and weather desks are a contrast to the angular set elements.
An impressive weather center designed for breaking weather is situated in the center of the set. The station deals with intense weather, including frequent severe summer storms and hurricanes.
The five-person weather team needed a layout to accommodate the group of meteorologists with immediate access to technology, and different venues to visually explain impending threats.
Versatility is the key word when describing the multiple stages.
Four 50-inch monitors ring the breaking weather room. A 1×3 portrait format array is available for more intimate story telling.
Two 80-inch monitors for breaking news complete the storytelling environment.
