Radici
Radici, from renowned chef Elena Reygadas, offers an elevated and educational culinary experience that reflects her personal philosophy and deep respect for Italian principles: ingredient integrity, warm hospitality, and seasonality.
The design supports this ethos through a layered spatial journey and sensory contrasts. Guided by the principle of compression and release, the experience begins in a dark, earthy and moody dining space—featuring Italian finishes and bespoke detailing—before unfolding into an open, inviting test kitchen and a lush rooftop garden. Each space is tailored to support different moments: from private dining and intimate bar to community-focused food education.
Radici’s test kitchen acts as the heart of the space—a place for learning and exploration—while an outdoor woodfire oven and productive rooftop garden pay homage to Elena’s passion for artisanal techniques and biodiversity.
Floor Plan
Thoughtful spatial sequencing was key to this project. The layout was carefully choreographed to support the dual function of the space—offering an intimate dining experience while seamlessly transitioning into areas for education, community, and connection.
