Interior designer at D'Tessera Residences
A home with a quiet corner to work in.
An office or a homework corner: yours to decide.
Thoughtfully designed around the way you live, and what you’d like to spend.
While you wait for your D'Tessera keys, who will be living with you?
Every D'Tessera home is a 3+1 or a 4+1 with two bathrooms, a study drawn without a door and one wall marked to come down.
We help you decide which rooms change their job before we think about how they look.
We’re Sundays in Bed, a Kuala Lumpur studio that designs and looks after homes. We haven’t designed a D'Tessera home yet, so this guide works from Exsim’s floor plans. Our fee is counted per room, and it’s on paper for you before any drawing starts.
D'Tessera Residences is one leasehold tower of 671 homes by Exsim, on Jalan PJU 8/8 in Damansara Perdana. It sits in the Central Park Damansara township, now called Sentral Damansara. The Edge last reported completion for 2026.
D'Tessera homes come in two built-up sizes, each with a study and two bathrooms.
- 1,100–1,129 sq ftThree bedrooms and a study (Types A and C)
- 1,300–1,331 sq ftFour bedrooms and a study (Types B and D)
The layout and privacy
Fourteen homes share each floor, in two wings either side of one lift core. About a third of the homes have no balcony.
Each plan marks one “hackable” wall in pink, built to come down if a room needs to grow. In a Type D 4+1 it lies between the main bedroom and bedroom three, so a larger suite is possible.
Types C and D are the elderly-friendly homes, with a ramp at the foyer and one bathroom made for wheelchair access. If you can picture a parent moving in someday, we’d keep those and design around them, which is easier than adding them later.
So we start with your household: who needs a desk with a door, whether a parent will live with you, and how the morning queue for two bathrooms will run.
Before we think about style, who shares what in your home?
We start with who sleeps, works and gets ready where.
With every type on two bathrooms and an open kitchen, the order in which we solve the rooms shapes everything, and the style follows.
For the school-morning queue
Beyond the main suite, every plan has one bathroom for the other bedrooms: two in a 3+1, three in a 4+1. A second basin, a better shower and storage for each person will make those mornings easier.
If someone needs a quiet desk
The plans draw the +1 as an open study off the bedroom passage. A sliding or pocket door makes it an office for calls; left open, it suits homework within earshot of the kitchen.
Before any wardrobe goes in
We decide together whether the hackable wall stays. Built-ins on that wall are hard to undo, and taking it down later means reopening a finished room and seeking approval again.
For the cook of the house
The kitchen is on show from the dining table, and one agent lists a gas hob in it. We settle a glass screen to the dining table and a hood strong enough to match before we choose cabinet doors.
What came with your keys
One agent's listing of the sales package shows high and low kitchen cabinets, a hood and gas hob, a fridge, and air-conditioning in the living room, main bedroom and bedroom 1. Anything sound stays. We’ll confirm your own package on the visit and design around any gaps.
What should you expect our design fee to be for your D'Tessera home?
For a 1,100 sq ft 3+1 at D'Tessera Residences, the Sundays in Bed design fee is estimated at RM19,745–23,310; for a 1,300 sq ft 4+1, RM23,310–30,440.
Your final fee depends on the rooms you choose, and is agreed in writing before we begin.
- Each room we design
- RM3,565
- Living and dining
- RM5,485
3 bedrooms and a study: 4 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
We write that total down for you to agree before drawings begin, and you pay it in stages. Contractors’ prices don’t move our fee, so a stone vanity in bath 1 instead of laminate leaves it where it was.
With our fee and Curated finishes (Commune, Cellini, Poet Living), a 1,100 sq ft 3+1 here comes to about RM171k–302k in all.
The shared bathroom, the doorless study and the wardrobes. In a D'Tessera home that’s where your money does the most. The kitchen, which one agent lists as fitted at handover, needs less. Choose a type, then turn rooms on or off; it’s all an estimate until contractors quote.
| Home | Our fee | Curated | Bespoke |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3+1, Type A 1,100 sq ft · 431 homes | RM19,745–23,310 | RM152k–278k | RM319k–668k |
| 4+1, Type B 1,300 sq ft · 144 homes | RM23,310–30,440 | RM171k–313k | RM355k–743k |
| 3+1, Type C 1,129 sq ft · elderly-friendly | RM19,745–23,310 | RM152k–278k | RM319k–668k |
| 4+1, Type D 1,331 sq ft · elderly-friendly | RM23,310–30,440 | RM171k–313k | RM355k–743k |
Each lower figure covers a typical layout: living and dining with the open kitchen, every bedroom and the study. Each higher one leaves room for one extra, or two in the 4+1s, for example bath 1 or the main bathroom.
These are October 2026 guides; only contractors’ quotes are prices.
How these figures are worked out
At Curated, furniture comes from Commune, Cellini and Poet Living; at Bespoke, from Space Furniture, BoConcept and Molteni&C.
As a new handover, every row leaves the bathrooms out; bath 1, shared by two or three bedrooms and guests, is the one owners most often add. Each row counts the study as a room.
The ranges include air-conditioning throughout, wardrobes, laundry appliances and a full kitchen. One agent's listing shows D'Tessera’s sales package including the kitchen cabinets, hob, hood, fridge and some air-conditioning; if yours does, keeping them lowers the figure.
Furnishing to let?
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.

The sum you’re comfortable with comes first in our conversation, Type A or Type D alike. Share it, and we’ll design inside it, and say so plainly if a wish would go past it.
Who will deal with the developer, management and your neighbours for you?
We’ll deal with them for you and keep you posted.
With 671 homes due for handover in one tower, your renovation may well overlap with your neighbours’. We do the drawing and the managing, and the building is done by contractors you choose, after we’ve collected their quotes and walked you through each.

- Drawings, then tendersContractors price the same drawing set, so their quotes compare like for like. We go through each with you, item by item; who builds is your decision.
- Building, then stylingService-lift slots, the order of trades, deliveries down a corridor your neighbours use daily: we co-ordinate it, inspect against the drawings, then dress the rooms.
Exsim’s handover team, the management office, MBPJ and the neighbours along your corridor each have a stake in a D'Tessera fit-out. We’ll track what each needs, and when, and pass the news on to you as it comes. How our process runs
When your keys arrive
The Edge’s last report put completion in 2026. Your defect liability period lasts 24 months from vacant possession; send Exsim a written defect list before any trade touches a wall.
MBPJ issues renovation permits for Damansara Perdana, normally applied for by your licensed contractor, and the management office approves the works. Its deposit, working hours and lift-booking terms haven’t been published, so we request them before scheduling.
When your family moves in, what will each of them need?
We’ll ask about each of them before we draw.
Hundreds of homes here share the same 3+1 plan, so who sleeps where, who uses the study and who shares the bathroom is what makes yours different, and we design around that.
Maybe your Type A is home to a couple who both work from home. For someone else, it’s a family of five with a grandparent staying at weekends. That changes every room, so before the layout we ask about the people, and the look comes last.
What comes with your keys, and what to add
- KeepKitchen, rampsThe fitted kitchen cabinets, hood and hob; in Types C and D, the ramped foyer and accessible bathroom
- AdaptStudy, one wallA study drawn without a door, and the hackable wall, kept or taken down
- AddStorage, shadeWardrobes and a shoe cabinet beyond the sales package; blinds for rooms facing northwest

What have renovations nearby in the township cost?
We haven’t designed a D'Tessera home yet, and none is finished enough to be recorded, so we looked at two earlier Central Park Damansara phases. Other firms published two 1,200 sq ft D'Erica Residence renovations at RM95,000–125,000, or RM79–104 per sq ft.
A 1,440 sq ft D'Clover home was recorded at RM94,000. For comparison, the Damansara-area records on the index run a median of RM112 per sq ft. Scopes differed and may exclude furniture, so treat these as a guide; each is listed on our Petaling Jaya renovation cost index.

Moving into D'Tessera: rooms, costs and timing
Can the hackable wall in a D'Tessera home come down?
It was designed to. Each plan marks one wall that can go to enlarge a room; in a Type D it can join bedroom three to the main suite. Management must still approve, so we confirm the wall on site and include it in the submission.
Can the D'Tessera study become a proper home office?
Yes. It’s drawn without a door, so start with a sliding or pocket door, or a glass screen to keep the light, then a built-in desk, shelves and sockets. Designed as a room it costs RM3,565 on our fee; left alone, nothing.
How do five or six people share two bathrooms in a 4+1?
With planning. The shared bathroom serves three bedrooms and the study, so we look at a second basin, a separate shower where the plan allows, and a shelf or drawer for each person. Bath 1 then counts as one room on our fee.
Should an elderly-friendly Type C or D home be designed differently?
Designed around, yes. The ramped foyer and accessible bathroom come built in. We keep them, then plan furniture spacing, lever handles, lighting and grab rails so a parent moves about easily, without the home looking clinical.
What would a D'Tessera Type A cost to renovate and furnish?
Expect RM152k–278k for renovation and furniture in a new 1,100 sq ft 3+1 at Curated (Commune, Cellini or Poet Living), or RM319k–668k at Bespoke (Space Furniture, BoConcept or Molteni&C). Our design fee, estimated at RM19,745–23,310, is separate.
When should I start designing my D'Tessera home?
Begin about five months before your keys are due, so drawings and contractor quotes are ready when they arrive. Completion was last reported for 2026. On handover, log defects with Exsim in writing first; a free first call can come long before then.
Two bathrooms, a study, your whole household. Shall we start there?
Send us your type, A to D, the plan from your sale agreement and a rough figure in mind. The first call is free, and your estimated design fee comes back in writing before you decide anything.
