Interior designer at DC Residensi
A home with good bones, ready for its next chapter.
Keep what’s good. Make the rest yours.
Thoughtfully designed around the way you live, and what you’d like to spend.
Which parts of your DC Residensi home do you still love?
Your DC Residensi home came with Poggenpohl kitchens, Miele appliances, walnut parquet and glass from floor to ceiling, and much of it is still good.
We’ll help you decide what to keep and what to renew, so a home first sold part-furnished comes to feel like yours.
We’re Sundays in Bed, a Kuala Lumpur studio that designs and looks after homes. Our finished homes nearby are at Regent Suites, Pavilion Damansara Heights, and none is at DC Residensi yet. Each room we take on carries its own fee, and nothing begins until you’ve seen it written down.
DC Residensi is the residential part of Damansara City, GuocoLand’s freehold development on Jalan Damanlela, shared with two office towers, the Sofitel and DC Mall. It was launched in 2013 as DC Residency, which is why many owners still call it that.
- Tower ACompleted 201628 storeys · 185 homes · nine to a typical floor
- Tower BCompleted 201628 storeys · 185 homes · nine to a typical floor
DC Residensi units range from 904 to 2,982 sq ft built-up, with duplex penthouses on the top two floors.
- 904–1,187 sq ftOne bedroom, or a 1+1 with a flexible extra room
- 1,668–1,862 sq ftTwo bedrooms and a study; a 2+1+1 adds a helper’s room
- 2,077–2,079 sq ftA 3+1: three bedrooms and a helper’s room, with dry and wet kitchens
- 2,701–2,982 sq ftExecutive three-bedrooms, opening onto a private lift lobby
Ceilings
Residents have their own entrance into DC Mall, and a covered walkway runs about 400 m to Pusat Bandar Damansara MRT.
In the simplex homes the ceilings are about 11 ft by one agent’s measure, so curtains and joinery run taller than usual. We’ll measure yours when we visit.
Where should we begin in a home this well made?
We begin with whatever no longer fits how you live.
In homes this well finished, a few careful changes usually do more than a strip-out.
If you cook for friends
The 2+1+1, 3+1 and Executive plans pair a dry kitchen on show with a wet kitchen behind. Before we replace any Poggenpohl cabinetry, we check whether new fronts, a worktop and better lighting would do.
For the tall windows
Floor-to-ceiling windows bring in light, afternoon heat and, in some rooms, the office towers or the Sofitel next door. We plan layered sheers and dim-out curtains, hung from the ceiling, before we choose any furniture.
If the sun has been at your floors
Marble and walnut parquet came with the home. Where the timber has faded, sanding and re-oiling costs far less than replacing it, and we choose rugs, joinery and fabrics to sit with the walnut.
For the spare room
In a 1+1 the extra room is small and flexible: a study, nursery or dressing room. In the larger homes, the helper’s quarter by the wet kitchen can become a store or laundry if nobody lives in.
For the way you walk in
In the Executive types the lift arrives at a lobby that is yours alone, so we treat it as a room: a console, a seat for shoes, some art. In other homes a shared corridor leads to your door, so the foyer inside does that work.
What would it cost to have us design your DC Residensi home?
Our design fee for a 2+1+1 at DC Residensi is estimated at RM26,875–34,005, and for a 3+1 at RM30,440–37,570.
The exact figure follows the rooms you pick, and you agree it in writing before any design work.
- Each room we design
- RM3,565
- Living and dining
- RM5,485
2 bedrooms, a study, 1 bathroom and the dry and wet kitchens: 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 low end is the essentials; the high end 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
Our fee goes on paper first, and you pay it as the work moves through its stages. Marble over porcelain in a bathroom is a choice for your budget and the contractor, and our fee is untouched.
Add Curated furniture and finishes (Commune, Cellini, Poet Living) to our fee, and a 2+1+1 here totals roughly RM249k–416k.
Start with curtains and light. In homes like these, the money tends to go on curtains for the tall glass, lighting, furniture and anything a tenant wore down, and seldom on the Poggenpohl kitchen.
Choose your home type below and switch on the rooms you want designed. Each figure is a guide until contractors put in their quotes.
| Home | Our fee | Curated | Bespoke |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2+1+1 1,855–1,862 sq ft | RM26,875–34,005 | RM222k–382k | RM426k–817k |
| 1+1 1,148–1,187 sq ft | RM16,180–19,745 | RM167k–292k | RM334k–654k |
| 3+1 2,077 sq ft | RM30,440–37,570 | RM255k–457k | RM480k–959k |
| Executive 2,701–2,705 sq ft | RM34,005–41,135 | RM269k–483k | RM505k–1.01M |
Lower figures cover the living and dining, bedrooms, any study or family room, the bathrooms (one fewer than the plan has in the larger homes), and the kitchens. Higher figures add one more room, perhaps the last bathroom or the helper’s quarter; from 1,200 sq ft, two more.
All figures are October 2026 guides, and your contractors’ quotes set the real ones.
How these figures are worked out
Curated means furniture from Commune, Cellini or Poet Living; Bespoke means Space Furniture, BoConcept or Molteni&C.
Both towers were completed in 2016. Not every one of their Catalano and Gessi bathrooms will need redoing, so the 2+1+1, 3+1 and Executive rows each design one bathroom fewer than the plan has.
We’ve assumed one bathroom and an open kitchen in the 1+1, and three bathrooms in the Executive. In the 1+1 and 2+1+1 rows the extra room is priced as a study; in the Executive, its family room is.
Each range allows for new kitchen cabinets, wardrobes and air-conditioning. If you keep the Poggenpohl cabinetry and Miele appliances from handover, the spend drops noticeably.
Furnishing to let?
Plenty of DC Residensi homes are offered for rent. A lighter, hard-wearing fit-out at our Essential level, quicker to finish and easy to keep tenant-ready, is one possibility, with furniture from Ikea, SSF Home and Harvey Norman. The design fee is the same at every level.

Who will deal with the management office on your behalf?
DC Residensi is a serviced residence, so management approves the works and sets the terms, and we’ll handle that with you.
We design and run the job. Licensed contractors do the building, and you pick who, after we’ve collected their quotes and sat down over them with you.
- A first call FreeTower A or B, which type, whether a tenant is moving out, what was handed over with the home, and the figure you have in mind.
- Seeing the home RM200, waived if you go ahead with usA site visit to measure, confirm the ceiling height, look over the walnut floor and the kitchen, and see which way the windows face.
- The scope in writing, then the designFirst we agree the rooms, the fee and the budget on paper. Layouts, lighting, curtains and materials follow, and any new joinery is drawn to sit alongside the Poggenpohl kitchen.
- Drawings, then quotesContractors price from a complete set of drawings. We take you through each quote line by line, and you decide who builds.
- The works, then the stylingWe book lifts and deliveries through management, check every stage against the drawings, and style the rooms before you move in.
A tenant moving out, management’s paperwork, DBKL and your neighbours on the floor rarely line up on their own. We’ll line them up for you and tell you when each one needs a word from you. How we work, step by step
Before any builder walks in
If a tenant is leaving, photograph the home’s condition and settle the deposit before any contractor walks in, so wear from the tenancy isn’t mistaken for renovation damage.
Your licensed contractor applies for any DBKL permit, and management will usually want the drawings before approving the works. The towers’ renovation deposit, working hours and service-lift rules aren’t published, so we ask management for current terms before pricing anything.
Can a home you’ve let, or just taken back, feel like yours again?
We shape yours around whoever lives in it now.
Homes here were sold partly furnished, and some later ones fully furnished in one of two developer styles, and many have been let since.
Maybe yours is a 1+1 for a couple who travel for work, or an Executive home where the grandparents come to stay. Even a floor apart, those homes need very different rooms. We begin with you: who lives there, how you cook and entertain, what you own.

What have homes close to yours cost to renovate?
Our closest finished work is at Regent Suites, Pavilion Damansara Heights: a two-bedroom that came to about RM85,000 and a three-bedroom to about RM145,000, furniture included.
Other firms’ published renovation records for Damansara Heights put the median at RM131 a sq ft. Applied to a 1,857 sq ft 2+1+1, a full renovation would come near RM243,000.
A full renovation usually redoes the kitchen and bathrooms, which many of these homes can keep, so yours may come to less. The records are on our Kenny Hills and Damansara Heights renovation cost index.

Before you change anything at DC Residensi
Is DC Residensi the same building as DC Residency?
Yes. GuocoLand launched the two towers in 2013 as DC Residency by Clermont, with hotel-style services, and the name later became DC Residensi. Agents and owners use both. It is the residential part of Damansara City, on Jalan Damanlela beside DC Mall.
Should I replace the Poggenpohl kitchen?
Often not all of it. If the cabinets are sound, new fronts, a new worktop, better lighting and a serviced Miele oven can refresh it for far less. We look at the hinges, the cabinets and how you cook before suggesting anything bigger.
A tenant is leaving my DC Residensi home. What comes first?
A record of its condition before the tenancy ends, so the deposit is settled fairly. Then we look at what tenants wear first: the parquet, the paint, sofas and mattresses. The kitchen and bathrooms often need only a deep clean and new seals.
Could the helper’s quarter in a 2+1+1 or 3+1 work as a study?
In most cases, yes, provided nobody lives in. Beside the wet kitchen, it also suits a store or laundry. We check its air-conditioning and ventilation first. As a designed room it adds RM3,565 to our fee; left alone, it adds nothing.
What would a DC Residensi 3+1 cost to renovate and furnish?
Renovation and furniture for a 2,077 sq ft 3+1 come to an estimated RM255k–457k at Curated (Commune, Cellini or Poet Living), or RM480k–959k at Bespoke (Space Furniture, BoConcept or Molteni&C), before our fee. Keeping the original Poggenpohl kitchen lowers it.
How early should I call before moving in?
Around five to six months ahead of your move-in date, or once you know when the tenancy ends. Drawings, quotes and management’s sign-off can then be done in time for contractors to begin shortly after the home is vacated.
Tenant moving out, or you moving in? We’d be glad to talk.
Say which tower and type you own and roughly what you plan to spend, and attach a floor plan if there’s one to hand. The first call costs nothing, and our estimated design fee reaches you in writing before you commit.
