Interior designer at Chempenai Park
At Chempenai Park, quiet begins at your own front door.
Hotel sites list some apartments here as short stays, so suitcases may come and go at odd hours. A heavier, well-sealed entrance keeps that on the other side.
A living room that gives way to a hallway and a small study beyond: the quieter rooms set back from the door, the order we’d look for here.

Chempenai Park layouts, and what your home needs from us now
Chempenai Park, three low blocks on Jalan Chempenai in Damansara Heights, has homes large enough for every room to have a purpose.
Our interior design starts there, and with keeping your home private where some neighbours stay a few nights.
Maybe you’ve owned here for years and the home has slowly filled up, or you’ve just bought and are standing in rooms someone else arranged. Either way, homes this size reward a plan made before anything is bought.
We’re Sundays in Bed, a Kuala Lumpur studio that designs and looks after homes. Our studio is here in Damansara Heights. We haven’t designed a Chempenai Park home yet, so the facts here come from public sources, to be checked in your own rooms when we visit.
Chempenai Park, also spelt Cempenai Parc, sits on Jalan Chempenai, in what StarProperty calls the quieter Semantan side of Bukit Damansara. It is freehold, and small by any measure: three blocks of five storeys each, completed around 1990.
Residents share a pool, jacuzzi, sauna, gym, clubhouse and jogging track, with 24-hour guards. Semantan MRT is about 1 km away, and Jalan Semantan, Jalan Duta and the SPRINT are close by. By PropertyGuru’s measure, SK Bukit Damansara is about 650 m away, and HELP University and SK Seri Hartamas are each under a kilometre.
Pusat Bandar Damansara MRT is the second station in reach, about 1.8 km off by PropertyGuru’s measure. StarProperty puts the city centre and Petaling Jaya each about 5 km away, with Jalan Damansara close by and Jalan Maarof the way into Bangsar.
Chempenai Park units are about 1,700–1,900 sq ft built-up, with three or four bedrooms.
- About 1,700 sq ftThree bedrooms, two or three bathrooms
- About 1,900 sq ftFour bedrooms, three or four bathrooms
Space and the layout
PropertyGuru likens the layouts to a house, and the sizes bear it out. At up to 1,900 sq ft, every room can have a purpose of its own.
With a gym, a pool, a sauna and a jogging track shared downstairs, exercise can stay out of the apartment.
However long you’ve owned it, the wiring, pipes and waterproofing beneath the finishes may go back to the first handover, whatever a previous owner changed. Those get checked first.
Hotel sites list several apartments here as furnished short-stay suites, under the name Cempenai Parc Residences. If the faces in your block change from week to week, a quiet, secure front door may matter to you more than usual.
The portals don’t agree on the largest homes. PropertyGuru’s 2014 page ran the sizes up to 2,050 sq ft, and its current page allows up to four bathrooms where StarProperty stops at three. So check the built-up area on your own sale papers before you compare your home with the figures on this page, which are priced at 1,700 and 1,900 sq ft.
Nobody is on record as the developer: PropertyGuru lists both the developer and the number of homes as N/A. That means no sales brochure with a floor plan to start from. If your purchase papers or the management office hold a plan, send it ahead of the visit; if not, our own measurements become the first drawing of your home.
Interior design at Chempenai Park starts with who uses each room
In a Chempenai Park home, our first questions are who uses each room and how much calm you want at the door.
Once those are settled, the finishes are far easier to choose.
If a room has drifted into storage
In a home this size, one room often does. We’ll settle its role first, whether that’s reading, guests or a television, because its lighting and joinery depend on it.
If you cook in a closed kitchen
No Chempenai Park kitchen plan is published. If yours is closed, we’ll decide with you whether heavy cooking keeps it that way, or a glass screen opens it to the dining.
If your door opens near short-stay neighbours
Suitcases and late arrivals can come and go in your block. A solid-core door, acoustic seals and a door closer keep that noise outside, and a lockable cupboard helps anyone who lets.
Karta’s listing for the suites mentions a 24-hour front desk, free parking for guests and an airport shuttle, which means arrivals at any hour and unfamiliar cars in the covered bays. If your home shares a landing or a car park entrance with the suites, we’d put a bench and a low lamp just inside your own door, so coming home late feels like arriving somewhere settled rather than passing through a lobby.
If your home was wired a long time ago
A home from around 1990 may have been wired for fewer air-conditioners, and long before induction hobs. We’ll have the distribution board and bathroom floors checked before anything is chosen, so new tiles never cover an old leak.
What may still serve you
A previous owner or a letting fit-out may have left sound cabinets, doors or appliances. We’ll keep what works. And with a pool, sauna and gym downstairs, no bedroom needs to become a home gym.
If you’re here for the long run
If you expect to stay for many years, choose finishes that age rather than date: solid timber that can be sanded back, honed stone, linen that softens with washing. They ask less of you as the years go by.
Homes here seldom change hands. When we checked StarProperty on 3 and 14 October 2026, it listed no Chempenai Park home for sale or to rent, and PropertyGuru shows no recorded transactions. If you’ve bought one, you’re more likely planning a long stay than a resale, and services renewed once, properly, suit that.
What interior design costs at Chempenai Park
For a 1,700 sq ft three-bedroom at Chempenai Park, the Sundays in Bed design fee is estimated at RM26,875–34,005; for a 1,900 sq ft four-bedroom, RM30,440–37,570.
A fee per room, agreed in writing before we begin.
- Each room we design
- RM3,565
- Living and dining
- RM5,485
The Chempenai Park design fee is set by the rooms you choose. Start at the door. In a building where some apartments run as short stays, a calmer, more private way in may do more for your evenings than any finish behind it. The foyer is one of the spaces we design at no charge; the door and its seals go into your contractor’s quote.
Everything else is counted room by room: RM3,565 for each bedroom, bathroom or kitchen we design, and RM5,485 for the living and dining. So the step from the three-bedroom estimate to the four-bedroom one is the fourth bedroom, at one room’s rate. The extra floor area adds nothing.
3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and the kitchen: 6 rooms at RM3,565, plus the open-plan living and dining at RM5,485. The foyer and utility yard are designed free.
Within each level, the lower figure covers the essentials; the upper figure adds extras such as a feature wall, LED strips and a kitchen island.
What the two levels mean
Curated. Melamine or laminate carpentry, quartz or sintered stone tops, the existing ceiling kept or a new plaster ceiling. Furniture from Commune, Cellini, Fella Design, Dezign District, Poet Living, Big Brain, Gudang, Crown Livin and Dadswood.
Bespoke. Detailed joinery, sintered stone tops, a plaster ceiling with detailing. Furniture from Space Furniture, Tekni, BoConcept, King Living, Ambient Living, Stanzo, Forest Furniture, Roche Bobois, XTRA, Urban Edge, Molteni&C, Nostaloft, Flexform, Janine and Chesters Collection.
How the fee works
We agree the total on paper before any drawing begins, and you pay it in stages. Marble in place of porcelain on a four-bedroom’s floors would raise the builder’s figure and leave ours alone. How our fees work
For a three-bedroom at the Curated level, allow around RM259k–432k all told, design fee included.
| Home | Our fee | Curated | Bespoke |
|---|---|---|---|
| Three-bedroom About 1,700 sq ft · two or three bathrooms | RM26,875–34,005 | RM232k–398k | RM444k–851k |
| Four-bedroom About 1,900 sq ft · three bathrooms or more | RM30,440–37,570 | RM258k–441k | RM490k–941k |
In each row, the lower estimate covers the living and dining, a closed kitchen, every bedroom and two bathrooms; the upper leaves space for two more rooms, perhaps a third bathroom or a study.
Guides as of October 2026; the contractors’ prices come later, from the drawings.
How these figures are worked out
Both sizes are priced as resales from around 1990, with two bathrooms designed in each; tick only the ones you’d change.
Without a published floor plan, we’ve assumed a closed kitchen and check yours when we visit. New air-conditioning, cabinets, appliances and wardrobes sit inside the ranges, and anything a letting fit-out left in good order can stay.
Furnishing to let?
Some Chempenai Park homes are let, a few as short-stay suites. For a home that has to survive suitcases and changeovers, our Essential level, with furniture from Ikea, SSF Home and Harvey Norman, is quicker to finish and easy to keep in order. The design fee stays the same whichever level you choose.

A Chempenai Park interior designer for the rules and the builders
One designer looks after your Chempenai Park home from the first call until you’re living in it again.
The builders are contractors you choose after comparing their quotes with us, and the works keep to management’s rules.
- A call about the household FreeThree bedrooms or four, who lives with you, whether you live here or let, and what a previous owner or a letting fit-out left behind.
- The visit, door to window RM200, waived if you go ahead with usMeasurements first, then the distribution board’s age, any signs of leaks in the bathrooms and around the windows, and the route deliveries take to your storey.
- Rooms and quiet, agreedRooms and our fee go in writing first. Then plans, lighting and materials: a use for every bedroom, and a calmer way in.
- Quotes with the door includedThe same drawings go to each contractor, door hardware included, so their quotes can be laid side by side. You appoint the builder.
- Works within the house rulesManagement’s terms come first. Each stage is held against the drawings, loud work keeps to agreed hours for neighbours and guests alike, and the rooms are styled last.
An older block, a management office, DBKL and neighbours who may be staying a few nights: each needs to be squared before work starts. That part is ours to handle. How a project unfolds
Approvals come first
The management office will usually want to see and approve a Chempenai Park renovation before it starts, and any DBKL permit the works need is filed by the contractor you choose.
Its deposit, permitted hours and delivery rules aren’t published; we get the current terms in hand before a contractor prices anything. A note to your neighbours, and to the serviced-suite operator if one is next door, saves a lot of goodwill.
Chempenai Park renovation, planned around who gathers at your table
In a Chempenai Park home every room can have a purpose of its own, so we plan yours around the people at your table and the things you’ve kept for years.
Start with what you’d never part with: a dining table, a cabinet, the chairs that came from a parent’s home. We plan each room so those pieces belong in it.
For the bigger occasions, StarProperty’s facilities list includes a barbecue area, a children’s playground and a wading pool alongside the covered parking. The long Sunday lunches can move downstairs, and upstairs the dining table can be sized for the people who sit at it every day, with room around the chairs you’ve inherited.
Keep, adapt, add: a Chempenai Park home

Chempenai Park has no published specification, so this list follows what homes of its age usually ask for, and the visit settles yours.
What might a Chempenai Park renovation cost?
No published renovation record comes from Chempenai Park itself. The nearest in size among the Damansara Heights and Bukit Tunku records is another firm’s: Seri Duta II in Taman Duta, a three-bedroom of 1,730 sq ft and two bathrooms, renovated for RM300,000 over ten weeks on site. That sits inside our Curated range for a 1,700 sq ft three-bedroom, though each record covers its own scope. One record is no rule, but ten weeks gives a sense of how long your neighbours, and any guests in the suites, may live with the works, so we tell the management office and the operator early. Our fee is set per room, so it stays the same whatever the contractors charge.
Costs and approvals for the surrounding streets are on the neighbourhood’s own page.
FAQ
Chempenai Park, also Cempenai Parc, in practice
Are Chempenai Park and Cempenai Parc Residences the same place?
Cempenai Parc is another spelling of Chempenai Park. Cempenai Parc Residences is the name hotel sites use for apartments here let as furnished short stays. Lived in or let, every home here starts with the same site visit.
Hotel sites also list the suites as Kapitan Hill @ Cempenai Parc Residences, at No. 12 Jalan Chempenai, so a search for any of these names can lead to the same three blocks. On a sale agreement or a strata title, look for Chempenai Park or Cempenai Parc; the hotel names belong to the operator, not the building.
How is the design fee worked out for a Chempenai Park home?
As estimates, RM26,875–34,005 for a 1,700 sq ft three-bedroom and RM30,440–37,570 for a 1,900 sq ft four-bedroom. The difference is one room, the fourth bedroom. Whichever rooms you choose, the fee is agreed in writing before we begin.
Our neighbours are short-stay guests. Can we keep their noise out?
A solid-core front door with acoustic seals, a door closer, rugs on hard floors and lined curtains all help a great deal. We check where your walls meet the neighbour’s on the site visit, then put the quiet rooms furthest from them.
We let our apartment. What should the design do differently?
Choose finishes that clean easily and survive suitcases: quartz worktops, performance fabrics, washable paint. Add a lockable owner’s cupboard. Curated (Commune, Cellini, Poet Living) suits a home let long-term; Bespoke (Space Furniture, BoConcept, Molteni&C) suits one you’ll move back into.
If you’re weighing short stays, Karta’s listing for the suites already here gives each a kitchenette, a desk, a safe and a private balcony or patio, and that is the standard a guest will compare yours with. Chempenai Park’s rules on short-term letting aren’t published, so ask the management office before you plan for it.
Is an apartment here from around 1990 worth renovating fully, or just refreshing?
That depends on what’s under the surface. Where a previous owner has redone the wiring, the pipes and the waterproofing under the bathrooms, refreshing the finishes and furniture may be enough. Where they still date from around 1990, it’s usually worth doing them once, properly, before anything decorative.
Who approves a renovation at Chempenai Park?
Chempenai Park’s management office approves the works, usually in writing, and DBKL issues any permit needed, applied for by the contractor you choose. Deposit, hours and delivery rules aren’t published, and nor are the lift details for its three five-storey blocks, so we have all of them in hand before contractors quote.
One hotel listing for the suites, on ZenHotels, says a lift serves the upper floors. Whether every block has one, and how deep its car is, decides how a sofa or a long stone worktop reaches the fifth storey, so we measure the lift and the stair turns on the visit and give the sizes to every contractor.
How old is Chempenai Park, and who built it?
Chempenai Park was completed around 1990, as three freehold blocks of five storeys each on Jalan Chempenai. Nobody is on record as its developer: PropertyGuru lists the developer as N/A, so there is no sales brochure with a floor plan, and our own measurements often become the first drawing of a home here.
What facilities does Chempenai Park have?
Chempenai Park residents share a pool, jacuzzi, sauna, gym, clubhouse and jogging track, with 24-hour guards. StarProperty’s list adds a barbecue area, a children’s playground and a wading pool alongside the covered parking.
What does it cost to renovate and furnish a Chempenai Park home?
For a 1,700 sq ft three-bedroom at Chempenai Park, renovation and furniture come to an estimated RM232k–398k at Curated (Commune, Cellini, Poet Living), or RM444k–851k at Bespoke (Space Furniture, BoConcept, Molteni&C), before the Sundays in Bed design fee. The nearest published record, another firm’s 1,730 sq ft three-bedroom at Seri Duta II, cost RM300,000 over ten weeks on site.
What interior design services do you offer at Chempenai Park?
Chempenai Park’s three low blocks date from around 1990, so our condo interior design for its three- and four-bedroom apartments of about 1,700 to 1,900 sq ft includes renovation design. We draw the plans, compare contractors’ quotes with you and manage the works on site, and contractors do the building. Interior styling and furnishing through our Procurement Concierge are possible without a full design, and Virtual Design is how we serve homes outside Kuala Lumpur and Selangor.
