Casa Miravent en el Wall Street Journal
El pasado mes de Junio lo cerramos con la publicación de una entrevista a nuestros clientes de la casa Miravent en el Wall Street Journal, os dejamos aquí el reportaje completo:
Spanish fashion entrepreneurs Vicente Belenguer Devesa and Maria Jesus Muñoz Gozalvo had a townhouse in Godella, a high-end residential community northwest of Valencia, Spain’s third-largest city. But with only three bedrooms to accommodate their family of five, and an appetite for a more luxurious lifestyle, the couple decided to commission a mansion that would make the most of the subtropical climate.
In August 2015, the couple, now in their early 50s, purchased an empty, half-acre lot for over $700,000, a short walk from their townhouse, then went on to spend around $1.6 million to build and furnish a five-bedroom, six-bathroom, three-level villa. To incorporate the outdoors, the home’s ground floor has retractable glass panels that turn the open-plan kitchen and living areas into an extension of a spacious backyard.

“We spend more time outside than in,” says Mr. Belenguer Devesa, a Valencia native. The couple’s company, Navima Calzados SL, produces a number of women’s shoe brands, including Lola Cruz, which has two boutiques in Barrio Salamanca, Madrid’s equivalent of Manhattan’s Upper East Side.
The couple and their three daughters—Natalia, 20, Elena, 17, and Paloma, 13—moved into the largely completed home in December 2016. This summer, the family plans to put on finishing touches, such as an outdoor barbecue area and backyard shower.
Valencia arguably has the best climate of Spain’s large cities. Unlike Madrid, its winters are mild and short, and unlike Barcelona its hot summers are rarely humid. The couple’s architect, Julio Gómez-Perretta, oriented the house so that the ground floor’s open plan and adjoining yard face southeast. This keeps the site naturally cool, thanks to sea breezes blowing from the east, while sparing it the heat of the western sun.
The couple installed central air conditioning, but “I have only used it for a day or two,” says Mr. Belenguer Devesa. He says they use their underfloor heating a few months a year. They supplement electricity generated by solar panels with a conventional gas boiler.
The industrial aesthetic of concrete floors and exposed cooling ducts is a signature of the architect, whose firm, Perretta Architecture, is a Valencia-area studio specializing in villa construction.
Mr. Perretta, 62, has something of a Brutalist bent, and he opted for unfinished concrete slabs to give the house both its structure and its severe exterior, which he moderated with hand-cut Spanish stones. The home’s main staircase has a banister made of sharply swirling steel, and even the kitchen has a somewhat industrial quality, with a stainless-steel island countertop.
