Interior designer at Elmina Ridge
Before the keys, your Elmina Ridge home takes shape.
Keys to the first houses come in 2027 and to the second neighbourhood in 2028, so there is time. We start with who will live there: the bedroom downstairs, the kitchen, the cooling.
A deep sofa, a long low cabinet and lamps at dusk: the kind of second living room we’d make of the family area that every Elmina Ridge 2 plan has upstairs.

Elmina Ridge 1 and 2 floor plans, house by house
Elmina Ridge, in the City of Elmina, Shah Alam, is two neighbourhoods of new two-storey houses by Sime Darby Property, Elmina Ridge 1 and Elmina Ridge 2, so interior design here starts from your house’s plan and the fittings it comes with, well before the keys.
If you have bought at Elmina Ridge, you are still waiting for your keys. Sime Darby Property expects to hand over Elmina Ridge 1 in May 2027 and Elmina Ridge 2 in July 2028, which leaves time to settle from your sale plan who sleeps where, what the kitchen needs and where the solar equipment lives, before a contractor ever arrives.
Sundays in Bed has no home at either neighbourhood yet. You choose which rooms we design, and each room’s fee goes down in writing before work begins.
Both neighbourhoods are freehold and gated, in Seksyen U15 of Shah Alam, and both come under MBSA, the Shah Alam City Council. Elmina Ridge 1 sits beside the 2,700-acre Bukit Cherakah Forest Reserve; Elmina Ridge 2, on Jalan Hopea, is about 500 metres from it.

Together they hold 449 houses, every one with at least four bedrooms. Elmina Ridge 1 is quoted at 6.5 homes an acre and Elmina Ridge 2 at 7.7, both with parks of about ten acres around them.
Elmina Ridge 2, from Sime Darby’s brochure floor plans:

- 3,288 sq ftElmina Ridge 2 S1 semi-D: four bedrooms plus a utility room, five bathrooms, prep area and kitchen
Elmina Ridge 1, from the developer’s launch details:
- 2,265–2,697 sq ftElmina Ridge 1 superlink: four bedrooms, every one en-suite
- 2,732 sq ftElmina Ridge 1 cluster: four bedrooms plus one, four bathrooms
- 3,237 sq ftElmina Ridge 1 semi-D: four bedrooms plus one, five bathrooms
Elmina Ridge 2, floor by floor
Every Elmina Ridge 2 plan puts bedroom 3 downstairs at the back, with a bathroom of its own and an aluminium-framed glass door out to a small terrace. Upstairs, the main bedroom and two more, each with a bathroom, open off a family area that can work as a second living room.
A skylight panel lights most of the plans, and the T2-Am adds a planting bed indoors next to the dining table.
The clusters have a utility room, a yard and an outdoor planting area at the back; the semi-D’s main bathroom has a standalone bath and a double basin. Sime Darby describes the ER2B houses as on higher ground with a private garden of at least 10 ft, and some ER2A lots have steps down at the back.
What the houses come with
Every house in both neighbourhoods has roof solar panels with a battery, an EV-charger isolator point, glass mineral wool insulation under the roof and a digital lockset at the main door. Elmina Ridge 1’s houses add a skylight over an indoor planting area.
Elmina Ridge 2’s brochure goes further. Kitchens come as a sink and tap, with no cabinets, hob or hood. The bedrooms, family area and stair are laminated timber, the ground floor porcelain, and the bathrooms are tiled right up to the ceiling.
Terraces get five air-conditioning points with piping and four for water heaters; the semi-D gets six cooling points. The units themselves aren’t listed.
What Elmina Ridge 1 hasn’t published yet
Room-by-room plans for Elmina Ridge 1 aren’t public, so the kitchen layout, where the +1 room sits in a cluster or semi-D and the split of ER1B between the two types are unknown. We read your own sale plan with you before drawing anything.
Elmina Ridge interior design ideas, planned around your household
At Elmina Ridge, we plan around who will live in the house first, then around the parts that stay put, such as the solar battery, the skylight and the downstairs bedroom.
The furniture follows from both.
If a parent will sleep downstairs
In Elmina Ridge 2, bedroom 3 is downstairs with its own bathroom and a door out to the terrace, which makes it the obvious room for a parent. We start by checking the step into its bathroom and how wide the doorway is, then plan soft night lighting, a wardrobe within easy reach and curtains that give the terrace door some privacy.
If one of you cooks for everyone
In the T2 superlink and the S1 semi-D, the dry prep area faces the dining and the wet kitchen sits behind a wall, which counts as two rooms in our fee. The T1 and the cluster have one kitchen, with a counter that looks at the table. With only a sink and tap handed over, we begin with cabinets, the hob and a hood ducted outdoors.
If cooling and hot water are still only points
Elmina Ridge 2’s brochure lists the points and the piping but no units, so which rooms get air-conditioners and water heaters is your choice. We settle it before any ceiling or wardrobe is drawn, since both decide where the trunking runs.
If you love plants
Elmina Ridge 1’s houses have a skylight over an indoor planting area, and one T2 plan in Elmina Ridge 2 has one beside the dining. We choose plants for the light it really gets, a floor beside it that copes with watering, and keep screens and artwork out of its midday sun.
If bicycles, bins and an electric car share the porch
With an EV-charger isolator point at the porch, it will do more than park cars. We fit the charger, the bins, shoes and bicycles around it, and keep the solar battery and its equipment reachable for whoever services them.
If the fifth room needs a job
The clusters and semi-Ds in both neighbourhoods are 4+1 houses. The extra room could be a guest room for a parent who stays over the festive weeks, a study, a prayer room or a store, and we decide before the electrical layout, because a study wants data points and a guest room wants an easy route to a bathroom.
If your lot has steps at the back
Some Elmina Ridge 2 lots step down behind the house, and the brochure notes the steps may vary with the site. A roof over the back terrace or a kitchen pushed outwards needs MBSA-approved plans, so we show you the options before you set your heart on one.
If the new bathrooms already feel like yours
Every bathroom arrives new in both neighbourhoods, and Elmina Ridge 2’s are tiled to the ceiling. We leave them be and let the spend go to wardrobes, lighting and the kitchen, where a new house has least.
What interior design costs at Elmina Ridge
At Elmina Ridge 1, the Sundays in Bed design fee is an estimated RM19,745–26,875 for a superlink and RM23,310–30,440 for a semi-D; at Elmina Ridge 2, RM19,745–26,875 for a T1 superlink and RM26,875–34,005 for an S1 semi-D with its prep area and wet kitchen.
It is a fee per room, agreed in writing before we begin.
- Each room we design
- RM3,565
- Living and dining
- RM5,485
Here is what designing an Elmina Ridge house with us costs. The calculator and table use Elmina Ridge 1’s three house types; Elmina Ridge 2’s four plans are priced in the fold beneath the table.
4 bedrooms: 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 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
The sum is written down for you to approve before any drawing and paid in stages. The renovation bill never moves it, so solid timber treads on the stair in place of laminate change the contractor’s price and leave ours alone.
An Elmina Ridge 1 superlink with Curated furniture from Commune, Cellini or Poet Living lands at about RM177k–339k, our fee counted in.
In a new house here the spend usually goes to the wardrobes, the kitchen and the living floor, while the new bathrooms stay. Every figure is an estimate until contractors quote against the drawings.
| Home | Our fee | Curated | Bespoke |
|---|---|---|---|
| Superlink 2,265–2,697 sq ft, four en-suites | RM19,745–26,875 | RM158k–313k | RM329k–741k |
| Cluster, 4+1 2,732 sq ft | RM23,310–30,440 | RM168k–333k | RM348k–784k |
| Semi-D, 4+1 3,237 sq ft | RM23,310–30,440 | RM170k–359k | RM350k–839k |
At the low end: the bedrooms, the +1 where there is one, and the living and dining with its kitchen. The high end adds two extras, perhaps a separate wet kitchen at the back or a bathroom you want redone.

If your house is in Elmina Ridge 2
The same per-room fee, worked out from Sime Darby’s Elmina Ridge 2 floor plans. The T2 and the S1 count the prep area and the wet kitchen as two rooms; the Curated and Bespoke ranges are renovation and furniture before our fee.

Behind the Elmina Ridge figures
Every bathroom here is new on handover, so none is priced; count only the ones you would change. The 4+1 rows count the extra room as one we design.
The ranges already hold wardrobes, air-conditioning, a washer-dryer, and kitchen cabinets with a hob and hood, since the published fittings stop at solar, insulation, locks and, in Elmina Ridge 2, a sink and tap. If your sale agreement adds any of them, your figure falls.

Your Elmina Ridge interior designer, at work before the keys arrive
At Elmina Ridge, most of the design can be done before handover: the rooms, the drawings and the contractors’ quotes can all be ready when the keys come.
We design and run the project; the contractors who build are yours to choose, once we’ve gone through their quotes with you.
- Which Ridge, which house FreeElmina Ridge 1 or 2, superlink, cluster or semi-D, who will live there, and the completion date in your agreement.
- The sale plan, then the house RM200, waived if you go ahead with usBefore handover, your sale plan is our map. After it, we measure both storeys, look at the porch, the stair and the solar equipment, and list what’s worth keeping.
- Rooms and fee, agreed in writingFirst we write down which rooms we design and our fee. Only then come layouts, lighting, joinery and finishes for both storeys.
- Quotes, side by sideContractors price from our drawing set and later build to it. Their quotes come to us; we read them with you line by line, and you choose the builder.
- Through the gate, then homeTrades and deliveries come through the estate gate on a schedule we keep. We inspect each stage against the drawings and dress the rooms before you sleep there.
Sime Darby’s handover, the estate’s own rules and MBSA each run to their own timetable. We keep the three in step and only call on you when something needs your say, so the wait for your keys stays calm. The full process
When the keys arrive
Walk the house with your sale plan, and put every defect in writing to Sime Darby before any contractor begins.
Approvals come next, from MBSA. For a one- or two-storey intermediate terrace, its Pelan Setara route is approved in about five working days; MBSA doesn’t say whether that covers a superlink, so we confirm before relying on it. Corner lots, clusters and semi-Ds go through plans that an architect or a registered draughtsperson certifies, and starting before approval carries a fivefold surcharge.
As a gated estate, Elmina Ridge may set its own rules for contractors. None have been published yet, so we ask for them before any trade arrives.
Renovating at Elmina Ridge, room by room for the people moving in
At Elmina Ridge, 449 houses share a handful of plans, so what makes yours different is the people who will live in it, and we shape each room around them.
Maybe it’s the one who cooks for everyone, the one who works from home, and the parent who comes to stay for a month at a time. We begin with them, and with everything in the house that needs a cupboard, so the rooms fit your days.
What to keep, adapt or add at handover
- KeepFloors, bathroomsNew en-suites, roof insulation, and in Elmina Ridge 2 laminated timber upstairs
- AdaptSkylight, solar, porchThe skylit planting area, the solar battery and the EV-charger point
- AddKitchen, coolingCabinets, wardrobes and air-conditioners, unless your agreement lists them
Drawn from Sime Darby’s launch details and the Elmina Ridge 2 brochures; the sale agreement decides, and at handover we hold it up against the house.
What houses this size have cost to renovate elsewhere
We have no Shah Alam section on our cost index yet, so the nearest guide is a handful of renovation records other firms have published in Petaling Jaya.
One was a 2,900 sq ft semi-detached house in Damansara, close in size to the semi-Ds here: RM230,000 and eight weeks on site. Three more were Bandar Utama terraces of 2,100 to 3,800 sq ft, at RM200,000 to RM630,000.
Those were older houses in another city, being reworked. A new Elmina Ridge house that keeps its handover bathrooms starts with less to replace. Each record is on the Petaling Jaya and Damansara cost index or the TTDI and Bandar Utama cost index.
FAQ
Elmina Ridge 1 and 2, from the sale plan to moving in
Can I start designing my Elmina Ridge house before the keys?
Yes, most of it. Elmina Ridge 1 is due in May 2027 and Elmina Ridge 2 in July 2028, and from your sale plan we can agree the rooms, draw layouts and lighting, and line up quotes well before then.
Five or six months ahead of handover is a good time to begin in earnest, so that drawings, quotes and any MBSA permit all land together. After handover we measure and adjust before anything is built.
What is the difference between Elmina Ridge 1 and Elmina Ridge 2?
They are two neighbourhoods of the same Elmina Ridge precinct, both by Sime Darby Property, freehold, gated and under MBSA, with the same solar panels, battery and EV-charger point. Elmina Ridge 1 has 228 houses, 102 superlinks and 126 clusters and semi-Ds, due in May 2027 at 6.5 homes an acre.
Elmina Ridge 2 has 221 houses, 145 superlinks, 52 clusters and 24 semi-Ds, due in July 2028 at 7.7 homes an acre. Its brochures publish the floor plans, with a ground-floor bedroom and bathroom in every type and kitchens handed over as a sink and tap.
Can an Elmina Ridge car porch take an EV charger and the solar equipment?
Yes. Every Elmina Ridge house comes with an EV-charger isolator point, so the supply is planned for. We place the charger, the cars, the bins and the shoe storage together, keep the solar battery and its equipment reachable for servicing, and have your electrician confirm the load before installation.
What can the +1 room become in an Elmina Ridge cluster or semi-D?
A guest room for a parent, a study, a prayer room or a store. In Elmina Ridge 2 the brochure calls it a utility room; in Elmina Ridge 1 its position isn’t published. We decide early, since each use needs different power, light and storage. Drawn by us, it is one more room at RM3,565, already inside the estimates above; left as handed over, that sum comes off.
Do I need MBSA approval to renovate an Elmina Ridge house?
For built work, usually yes. At Elmina Ridge, MBSA’s Pelan Setara route covers one- and two-storey intermediate terraces in about five working days, though MBSA doesn’t say whether superlinks qualify; corner lots, clusters and semi-Ds need plans certified by an architect or a registered draughtsperson.
MBSA publishes no rule for purely interior work, so we confirm with the council before any trade starts.
What does renovating and furnishing an Elmina Ridge house cost?
For an Elmina Ridge 1 superlink, renovation and furniture usually come to RM158k–313k at Curated (Commune, Cellini, Poet Living) and RM329k–741k at Bespoke (Space Furniture, BoConcept, Molteni&C), with our design fee of RM19,745–26,875 on top.
An Elmina Ridge 2 T2 superlink, with its prep area and wet kitchen, comes to RM177k–345k at Curated and RM359k–795k at Bespoke, plus a design fee of RM26,875–34,005. Contractors’ quotes set the real figure.
What are the floor plans at Elmina Ridge?
Elmina Ridge 2’s brochure plans run from a 2,274 sq ft T2 superlink and a 2,292 sq ft T1 superlink to a 2,752 sq ft C1 cluster and a 3,288 sq ft S1 semi-D, each putting bedroom 3 downstairs with a bathroom of its own. Elmina Ridge 1’s launch details give superlinks of 2,265–2,697 sq ft with four en-suite bedrooms, a 2,732 sq ft cluster and a 3,237 sq ft semi-D; its room-by-room plans aren’t public yet.
Where is Elmina Ridge, and what is around it?
Elmina Ridge is in Seksyen U15 of Shah Alam, in the City of Elmina, under MBSA. Elmina Ridge 1 sits beside the 2,700-acre Bukit Cherakah Forest Reserve, and Elmina Ridge 2, on Jalan Hopea, is about 500 metres from it, with parks of about ten acres around both.
What does a new Elmina Ridge house come with?
Every Elmina Ridge house has roof solar panels with a battery, an EV-charger isolator point, glass mineral wool insulation under the roof and a digital lockset at the main door. Elmina Ridge 2’s brochure adds laminated timber upstairs, porcelain on the ground floor and bathrooms tiled to the ceiling, while its kitchens come as a sink and tap, with no cabinets, hob or hood.
Have you designed a house at Elmina Ridge?
Not yet: Sundays in Bed has no home at either Elmina Ridge neighbourhood, since the first keys are due in May 2027. We plan from your sale plan before then, and you choose which rooms we design.
What interior design services do you offer at Elmina Ridge?
At Elmina Ridge 1 and 2, we lead with renovation design for new superlinks, clusters and semi-Ds, planned from your sale plan before the keys. We draw the plans, compare contractors’ quotes with you and manage the works on site, and contractors do the building. Once the keys are in, interior styling can dress the finished rooms, our Procurement Concierge can order every piece, and Virtual Design is how we help owners outside Kuala Lumpur and Selangor.
