Hey Miles :)

Things to consider:

* Height: Stay with standards depending on whether you are using chair-height or stool-height.
* Sheen: Stay matte or at most satin on front-facing surfaces. It makes it easier on the lighting side to avoid glare.
* Top: It is usually safe and attractive to have a reflective surface such as glass for the top. Acrylics scratch too easily.
* Width: Consider how many people will need to use the desk at the same time. experiment.
* Space: Most studios have space issues. Make sure what you create will not take up too much room.
* Programme: Chat would shape the desk so that the two (or more) face each other more often than not. News would be more direct-at-camera.
* Accessories: Often a broadcast studio will want a monitor on the front of the desk, or inside the top.
* Riser: If a camera is viewing both the desk and standing positions, it is often advantageous to place the desk and chairs on a riser or platform, so that the camera has to change height less.

I hope that helps some.

Good day
This my first time here,and thanks for the welcome.
I am in the process of designing a t.v. studio in a space measuring 50' x 50'.
Could you direct me to any floor plans that may assist through the design process.

Thank you.

I don't personally have any designs I've done that match those dimensions. However, every studio space is different. Make sure you get good building drawings, and have someone on site check those sizes personally. Going to a 48' space with a 50' set can be very painful.
Also, make sure to be on the lookout and plan for problems like emergency exits, studio windows, walkways, steps, fire suppressant systems, and such.
The height is just as important as the width and depth of the space. make sure you fill the space well, but not in a way that would be too tight or so tall that it is useless to the cameras.
Good luck on your project, and if you have any other questions, please start a new discussion.
