The Ancient Greeks had two concepts for understanding time. Krónos, the chronological partitions by which we measure our hours, days, weeks, and years; the quantitative ledger of our lives…

And...

Kairos, the qualitative time of life.

Kairos refers to the serendipitous opportunity of time. Of the exact moment for something new or distinct to occur. The concept has its origins in the practice of Greek archery, representing the moment when the archer finds the perfect opening to release the arrow and strike the target. Our daily lives are enriched by honoring Kairos. Following the call to walk in nature after a difficult day, or, pulling the car over to watch a sunset, grabbing a coffee, to reconnect with that friend you bump into unexpectedly, or snuggling under a blanket with a book on a wet and stormy day, actions that pay reverence to the timeliness of opportunity...Kairos.

Good design is and creates opportune moments. A workspace with a perfectly framed view, seamless transitions from inside to outside, and highly considered circulation spaces that make the flow of day-to-day living fluid and flawless.
