10 QUESTIONS WITH JOE MUHL, MD AT OCEAN SUPER PRIME MAYFAIR
1.) Good afternoon Joe! Please tell us a little about Ocean Super Prime Mayfair's offering...
Ocean Super Prime Mayfair offers an unrivalled serviced for super prime properties and clients wanting a full service package - from design and procurement to a project managed installation. We are working with Architects, Designers, Concierges and individuals to produce beautiful, high quality bathrooms.
2.) Have you always worked in the world of bathrooms?
I’ve worked in the bathroom industry for fifteen and a half years!
3.) What are some current luxury bathroom trends you are noticing?
Luxury metal finishes are very popular at the moment - golds, bronzes, black chromes and other high end finishes. Spa experience showers are also becoming very popular in peoples homes!
4.) Do you have any favourite projects you've worked on so far?
Our Chelsea and Surrey master bathrooms were great projects to work on for different reasons, both were completed to a high luxury standard and used high quality materials. These are the sorts of projects we love.
5.) From the initial enquiry, to the final project reveal, what can Ocean Superprime clients expect from their journey with your team?
From the initial enquiry, Ocean Super Prime Mayfair have two options. The first option is for us to complete the whole process from mood boards, interior design to specification and full project managed installation. This encompassing service gives you a single point of contact for the project and responsibility is handed to a single company, where we will co-ordinate our craftsmen to install your project. The second option is for us to work with your design / contractor team as subcontractor.
6.) You complete both hospitality and residential projects. Are you currently working on anything new and exciting?
Residential project wise we have several high speciation projects in and around the Mayfair area and I am currently speaking to a global luxury hotel that could be an amazing opportunity for us.
7.) What gives Ocean Superprime the edge over other luxury bathroom companies?
Unlike most, we take full responsibility of the whole service, especially the installation with your dedicated Project Manager who ensures the installation runs how it should. The whole process is completed under Ocean Super Prime Mayfair and you are not dealing directly with each trade.
8.) How can you help those with very specific bespoke bathroom requirements?
Because we have been in the industry for a long time, we have available to us some of the best brands, designers, installers and technology. for example, we offer mood boards and photo renders followed up by the option of VR to help our clients visualise their new space. We go to the site to measure the space and visit with the Project Manager before we begin. Product wise, our designers are trained in the latest products and technology to ensure their knowledge is second to none.
9.) Do you have any favourite luxury suppliers?
We have access to some of the most luxurious brands on the market such as Majestic Showers, an iconic British company that has worked on projects such as One Hyde Park. We also love Axor, Dornbracht, Duravit, Laufen and Armani, who have been used globally on some of the most prestigious projects. I’ve been in the industry for a long time now and I am privileged to know a lot of the Managing Directors, business owners and global team members.
10.) When you're not busy working, where can you be found and what might you be doing?
When I’m not in and around Mayfair, I’ll normally be in the south west by the coast with my wife , 4 year old and 9 month old sons!
