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.

RGNL is a hybrid studio: architecture and design-led real estate under one practice. We create contemporary residences, boutique hospitality projects, and curate homes for clients who value good light, thoughtful design, and long-term quality.

Fewer things, better made.

Homes with calm, comfort, and intention.

Juan Lacape

Design Director & Property Advisor

I work across architecture and real estate to help clients find and shape homes with clarity and calm. With experience in contemporary residential design and development, I bring technical insight to the acquisition process, guiding international buyers toward properties that truly make sense.

Bilingual, design-driven, and focused on long-term value.
