This is an office interior plan for ECD (Earth Centered Design Institute), a new company established by TBWA HAKUHODO.
From design to completion, environmental considerations were thoroughly considered, reusing building materials and furniture from existing offices, and for those that could not be reused, an "industrial waste manifesto" was thoroughly managed to achieve 100% reuse, resulting in an extremely environmentally friendly interior construction. Under these conditions, the spatial design was created with an "Earth Centered" concept, to encourage consideration of the Earth.
Aiming to create a space for thinking about the Earth
Based on ECD's company concept of being "Earth-centric," we planned an "office with space and time to think about the Earth."
In the "Earth Room," 15 glass tables called "THE EARTH TABLE" are lined up, made by printing ancient maps onto glass, and the maps on the glass tops appear as projections on the floor.
It is a space where you can feel the Earth, with the intensity of the projection changing with changes in natural light.
The "Blue Counter", which lights up a 45m horizontal window space blue in the evening, is reminiscent of the surface of the earth as seen from outer space, and was planned in the hope of providing a time to think about the earth at a set time each day.
In the "Polar Bear Hall", which can be used for events with large numbers of people, there is a polar bear made by a waste material recycler using offcuts from the production of THE EARTH TABLE.
The company logo ECD at the "ECD Entrance" is made from recycled scallop shells, and the "Whole Earth Library" is lined with Whole Earth Catalogues, and each space is filled with elements that make you think about the Earth.

During the daytime, when natural light comes in through the long horizontal windows, a faint image of the map is projected onto the floor.

As darkness falls, the image on the map becomes more clearly illuminated. This change in the appearance of the space is caused by changes in the natural light that comes in through the long horizontal windows. This is a workplace plan that allows you to work while feeling the passage of time throughout the day with your body.

The ECD logo is 3D printed from recycled scallop shells, a material called Shelltech. The blue paint was mixed by a painter using leftover paint cans from other construction sites (which would have otherwise been discarded and unused).

ECD entrance・・エレベーターから降りて一番に見える壁面を会社カラーの青色に塗装。青色塗装は他の現場で余ったペンキを調色し塗られている。「ECD」の会社ロゴマーク3文字は「シェルテック」という素材を使用して作成。「シェルテック」は水産廃棄物として年間約4万トン廃棄されるホタテの貝殻でできたエコな新素材である。

ブルーカウンター・・日没前後の30分間カウンターは青く光り、アースリム（宇宙から地球を見た表面の光）を想起させ、地球について考えるもう一つの時間と空間が生まれる。

Whole Earth Library・・壁面にwhole earth cataloge(スティーブ・ジョブスが愛読)を展示したライブラリー。創刊号（1968年FALL）の表紙を飾ったのはNASAから発表された、宇宙に浮かぶ地球の写真。この本は地球を俯瞰してとらえ、有限な地球環境について人類が考えた痕跡として有名であり、この延長上に、ECDが地球のことをこれから新しく考える時間と空間があるという思いで、地球の間に連続した壁面に、ホールアースライブラリーをつくった。

解体時の発生材数量調書・・既存を全て拾い上げ「発生材数量調書」を作成（ガラス、自動ドアや引戸、タイルカーペット、ライダク、家具、家電など全て）この中で [再利用1]：新オフィスで可能な限り再利用 [再利用2]：新オフィスで再利用できないものは、他の場所で再利用 [リサイクル]：再利用できないものは、資源としてリサイクル「産業廃棄物マニフェスト」を徹底管理 により、建材ほぼ100%、家具・設備100%再生/再利用することに成功した。

産業廃棄物マニフェストとフローチャートの確認・・既存オフィスに存在した物の再利用とともに、発生材の行き先をマニフェストとフローチャートで徹底把握/記録し、再利用率ほぼ100%を達成した。
