ABOUT 

Natural Forms is an independent design practice specialising in experience-led hospitality design shaped by place, climate, materiality, and sensory wellbeing. Based in the south of France and working internationally, the studio creates hotels, retreats, estates, and destination-led spaces that feel contextually grounded and quietly immersive.

Wellness is not treated as an added layer, but as something embedded within the architecture itself.

Founded by Amina Fogg, a RIBA Chartered Architect with more than twenty years of experience across the UK and Caribbean, Natural Forms brings together her work as an Associate Principal Designer at Foster + Partners with senior client-side experience delivering luxury hospitality at scale. The practice combines architectural rigour and design leadership with a refined understanding of how spaces are felt, sensorially, emotionally and over time.

Each project begins with place: landscape, climate, light, local material language, and cultural context. The aim is always environments with a strong sense of belonging — spaces that unfold gently, reveal themselves over time, and leave a lasting impression without excess.

The studio collaborates with owners, operators, developers, architects, interior designers, landscape designers and creative partners seeking strategic design direction for hospitality, retreat and private estate projects.

Develop

I've delivered over $3.5bn of resort work  Atlantis Paradise Island, Baha Mar, and Uk properties and through Natural Forms I bring that rigour to how a property actually feels: the guest experience, the sense of place, the atmosphere.

The way in is a short, fixed-fee design audit. Some clients then keep me on for concept direction or full design delivery
