Yes, I believe Nick puts a 22' radius in the upper bout in his Solara from the sound hole to the neck block. The lower bout is left flat. A gentle radius (TBD radius, likely ~50'ish) is established to the lower bout of the top once the upward load of the strings comes to play when the guitar is complete.
