Sara Portela and Carlos Lluna opened the first Un lugar donde pasan cosas conversation with a central idea: to appreciate Valencia, we must first understand how and why it was built.

We compare natural stone and porcelain from the perspective of real use: appearance, durability, maintenance, installation and budget, helping you choose with confidence for kitchens and interior projects.

Sara Portela, director of Open House Valencia, and content creator and graphic designer Carlos Lluna bring together two ways of looking at Valencia. A conversation about architecture, heritage, identity and civic participation.

At Calle del Mar 42, Studio2 hosts the official MODULNOVA Valencia flagship: a space where architects, interior designers and clients can explore Italian design systems, materials and solutions conceived to approach the home as a continuous architectural whole.

Un lugar donde pasan cosas is a cultural initiative by Studio2 that brings together people from architecture, design, business, culture and the creative industries around a kitchen to discuss contemporary Valencia.

Architecture and interior design should grow from the same idea. At Studio2, we design homes where layout, materials, lighting and ways of living are conceived as one integrated process.

The quality of a home depends on more than its design. Choosing materials that age well, such as natural stone or wood, helps create durable, coherent spaces that gain character over time.
