RGNL is led by Juan Lacape, a designer with a multidisciplinary background that moves between architectural design, real estate, and hospitality. His work centers on creating contemporary homes defined by clarity, proportion, and material honesty.
On most weekends, Juan can be found at home hosting intimate dinner events open to the public (a practice that informs his sensitivity to atmosphere, comfort, and the rituals of living). These curated experiences as a chef shape the way he understands design and human interaction.
Fewer things, better made.
