Interior designer at Elmina Ridge 2
A house where grandparents feel at home too.
A new house, made yours from the start.
Thoughtfully designed around the way you live, and what you’d like to spend.
Waiting for your keys to a house by the forest reserve?
In the second Elmina Ridge neighbourhood, two-storey houses run from 2,274 to 3,288 sq ft, each with its own solar panels and battery and a bedroom with its own bathroom on the ground floor.
We help you decide who sleeps downstairs, and where the solar equipment sits in daily life.
We’re Sundays in Bed, a Kuala Lumpur studio that designs and looks after homes. Keys to Elmina Ridge 2 come in 2028, which gives us time to plan together. Our fee is per room, and it’s on paper for you to read before we start.
Elmina Ridge 2 is Sime Darby Property’s freehold neighbourhood of 221 homes in Seksyen U15, Shah Alam, about 500 metres from the Bukit Cherakah Forest Reserve. Its first phase was 90% booked at the soft launch in June 2025.

Elmina Ridge 2 homes range from 2,274 to 3,288 sq ft built-up, and every bedroom has its own bathroom.

The layout and storage
In every plan, bedroom 3 sits at the back of the ground floor, with its own bathroom and a glass door onto a back terrace. Three more bedrooms open off a family area upstairs. If a parent may stay, or move in, we’ll decide together who takes that room first.
Every house comes with solar panels, a battery storage system and a point ready for an EV charger, and most have a skylight roof panel. We’ll plan around them from the start and leave room for whoever services them, so you won’t be moving things later.
Until the keys come, where would you like us to begin?
We’d begin with the kitchen, the cooling and the storage, which the developer leaves open for you.
The floors and bathrooms arrive new, so we’ll help you keep them and spend where your family needs it.
If you cook for the whole family
In T2 superlinks and S1 semi-Ds, a prep area opens onto the dining, with the wet kitchen behind it. T1s and clusters cook at a counter facing the table. Only a sink and tap are listed, so we start with cabinets, hob and hood.
If the family likes cool rooms and hot showers
Sime Darby Property provides five air-conditioning points with piping (six in a semi-D) and four for water heaters, though the units themselves are yours to choose. We’ll settle which rooms get them before any joinery is drawn.
If school bags and shoes pile up by the door
No wardrobes or built-in cabinets are listed, so every bedroom, the utility room where there is one, and the space under the stair start empty. We plan places for shoes, school bags and solar-system access before the furniture.
If a parent will sleep downstairs
Bedroom 3 has its own bathroom and a glass door to the back terrace in every type. We check the bathroom step and the door width first, then plan night lighting and a wardrobe they can reach.
If you’d like a green corner indoors
Most types have a skylight roof panel, and one T2 plan adds an indoor planting area beside the dining. We choose plants that suit that light, and plan for heat and cleaning, before anything decorative.
If you’d like to keep what comes new
Laminated timber upstairs and on the stair, porcelain below, bathrooms tiled to the ceiling and a digital lock on the front door will all be new. We keep them, and spend on storage, lighting and the kitchen.
What would it cost to have us design your Elmina Ridge 2 home?
For a T1 superlink, the Sundays in Bed design fee is estimated at RM19,745–26,875; for an S1 semi-D, with its prep area and wet kitchen, RM26,875–34,005.
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
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 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
That sum goes into our agreement ahead of the first drawing, and it’s paid in stages. We never take a share of the contractors’ invoices, so choosing stone for your counter changes their price and leaves our fee where it was.
With our fee and Curated finishes (Commune, Cellini, Poet Living), a T1 superlink here comes to about RM177k–339k in all.
Keep what arrives new, and spend on your family’s needs. Sime Darby Property hands over new floors and bathrooms tiled to the ceiling, so your money goes to the kitchen, wardrobes, cooling and light. Choose your type, switch on the rooms to draw, and treat each figure as an estimate.
| Home | Our fee | Curated | Bespoke |
|---|---|---|---|
| T1 superlink 2,292 sq ft · 2,425–2,645 at the end or corner | RM19,745–26,875 | RM158k–313k | RM329k–741k |
| T2 superlink 2,274 sq ft · 2,697 on the corner · prep area and kitchen | RM26,875–34,005 | RM177k–345k | RM359k–795k |
| C1 cluster 2,752 sq ft · 36 × 70 ft lot | RM19,745–26,875 | RM158k–313k | RM329k–741k |
| S1 semi-D 3,288 sq ft · 40 × 80 ft lot | RM26,875–34,005 | RM180k–370k | RM362k–846k |
We start from the usual brief: all four bedrooms, plus the living and dining with its kitchen, or both kitchens in a T2 or S1. The upper figure leaves room for two extras, such as the family area upstairs or the master bathroom.
Estimates as of October 2026, not a quotation.
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.
We’ve assumed not every bathroom needs designing. Count only the ones you’d change. In a 2028 handover all of them are new, so none is priced here, and the utility room isn’t either.
The ranges include kitchen cabinets, a hob and hood, wardrobes, a washer-dryer and air-conditioners. Sime Darby Property’s specification gives the points and piping for these, not the items; whatever your sale agreement adds brings yours down.
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.

If you’ve already worked out a number for the house and the furniture together, it’s the first thing we ask for. The drawings are made to fit it.
Who will look after the details while you wait for handover?
Phase 2A and 2B owners collect their keys in July 2028, so for now we plan together, with one designer who stays with your house until you’ve moved in.
We plan and manage the project; licensed builders do the work, and you choose them after we’ve compared their prices with you.
- The discovery call FreeSuperlink, cluster or semi-D; who’ll sleep in the ground-floor bedroom; what your agreement with Sime Darby Property lists; and your budget.
- The site visit RM200, waived if you go ahead with usOnce the house is handed over: every room measured, the back steps and the skylight checked, and the solar and battery equipment found.

- Drawings and quotesPlans, elevations and schedules a contractor can price from. The prices come back to us, we compare them line by line with you, and the choice of builder stays yours.
- On site, then moving inWe book the trades and deliveries past the guardhouse, inspect each stage against the drawings, then furnish and dress the rooms.
The developer’s handover team, MBSA, the guardhouse and the trades will all need something from you. We’ll do the talking, and keep you posted on whatever comes up along the way. The full process
Before the keys come
Sime Darby Property expects both phases to complete in July 2028. Use the months before to plan, so the drawings and quotes are ready when the keys come, and list any defects for the developer in writing before work starts.
Shah Alam City Council (MBSA) approved these houses, and your licensed contractor applies to MBSA for the renovation permit.
The brochure notes that extending the built-up area, such as roofing over the back terrace, needs the authorities’ approval. Elmina Ridge 2’s renovation and guardhouse rules aren’t published yet, so we ask for them first.
Whose everyday life will your new house hold?
We start with the people who’ll live in it.
Elmina Ridge 2 repeats four plans across 221 homes, so the inside of yours is shaped around your family.
Between now and handover, we can start with the people: whose room is downstairs, how often the wok comes out, where school bags and shoes land at the end of the day. That’s how a house comes to fit your week.

What a house as big as Elmina Ridge 2 has cost to renovate
Elmina Ridge 2 is new to us, and we don’t yet publish a cost index for Shah Alam. The nearest published renovation records, all by other firms, are older houses in Damansara and Bandar Utama.
A 2,900 sq ft Damansara semi-D came to RM230,000, after eight weeks on site. Three Bandar Utama terraces of 2,100–3,800 sq ft came to RM200,000–630,000.
Both are on our Petaling Jaya and Damansara renovation cost index and our TTDI and Bandar Utama index.
Those houses were being reworked. A new Elmina Ridge 2 house that keeps its floors and bathrooms should need less building, so more of its budget goes to joinery and furniture.

Planning an Elmina Ridge 2 house before 2028
Is Elmina Ridge 2 the same as Elmina Ridge?
No. Elmina Ridge is the earlier launch: 102 terraces in Phase ER1A and 126 clusters and semi-Ds in ER1B, due in May 2027. Elmina Ridge 2 is the next 221 homes, in Phases 2A and 2B, due in July 2028.
Where do the solar battery and EV charger go when we plan the house?
Sime Darby Property hasn’t published where the battery and inverter sit in each type, so we find them at handover. We keep them ventilated and easy to reach for servicing, and plan porch storage and the charger around them rather than boxing them in.
Can the ground-floor bedroom become a room for my parents?
Usually it’s the natural choice. In every type, bedroom 3 is on the ground floor, with its own bathroom and a glass door to the back terrace. We check the step and door width, add grab rails if needed, and design it as a full bedroom.
Can I roof over the back terrace or extend the kitchen?
Possibly, but it adds built-up area, and the brochure says any extension needs the authorities’ approval, so we check that with MBSA first. Some Phase 2A lots also have steps at the back that vary with the site, so we look at yours first.
How much does it cost to renovate and furnish an Elmina Ridge 2 superlink?
Estimated for a new T1: RM158k–313k for the building work and furniture at Curated (Commune, Cellini, Poet Living), or RM329k–741k at Bespoke (Space Furniture, BoConcept, Molteni&C). Our fee, about RM19,745–26,875, is on top. Kitchen cabinets and air-conditioners are inside those ranges.
When should I start designing a house that completes in 2028?
About five to six months before your keys, so the drawings, quotes and MBSA permit are ready together; completion is expected in July 2028. Still choosing between a T1 and a T2, or a cluster and a semi-D? A free call can help.
There’s time before 2028. Shall we plan your house together?
A T1 on Jalan Hopea or a semi-D on Phase 2B’s higher ground: send us the type and a rough figure for the inside. The first call is free, and you’ll see your estimated design fee in writing before deciding anything.
