The Muse: Why We Design for "True Sight
"At Moonlight, our design philosophy isn't random. It is rooted in a specific moment of clarity inspired by Dame Judi Dench.
Watching her explore the Scottish Highlands on the BBC—despite her failing eyesight—changed how I view a garden. She didn't need to see the veins on a leaf to feel the sanctuary of the space. She used True Sight: navigating by texture, sound, and the feeling of shelter.
This is why we build Digital Twins. We don't just want you to see the plan; we want you to feel the space, just as she feels the presence of an oak.
