Interior designer at One Central Park

At One Central Park, a place to be quietly yourself.

Coming home here means crossing a private park before the lift. We plan the rooms upstairs to keep that quiet: fewer things on show, softer light.

Closed cupboards, two chairs and one picture: the kind of restraint that keeps a room quiet, and what we’d aim for in a One Central Park home after the walk in through its gardens.

One Central Park layouts, and a home reached through the garden

One Central Park, a freehold tower of 359 homes on the edge of The Central Park in Desa ParkCity, is reached through its own private park.

Interior design here carries that calm indoors, once close to a decade of wear has been put right.

Some buildings make you arrive through a car park. Here the way in crosses a private park first, and by the time the lift opens the day has slowed a little. The test of the home upstairs is whether it keeps that pace: a hall that is clear, light that is soft, and nothing in the living room asking to be dealt with.

No One Central Park home is among our projects, and we found no published handover specification, so this guide works from the eight published layouts, sale listings and what ParkCity says of the tower itself.

Perdana ParkCity launched the single freehold tower of 45 storeys and 359 homes in September 2013, on Persiaran Residen, on a site of about 1.65 hectares beside The Central Park. Its own page calls the tower “a park within a park” and dates completion to January 2017; several portals give 2016. Portals list a private park of about 1.8 acres at the entrance.

The eight layouts, by built-up size:

  • 1,034–1,432 sq ftTypes A1 and A2: two bedrooms
  • 1,367–1,561 sq ftB1, a 2+2, and B2, three bedrooms
  • 1,688–1,991 sq ftC1, C2 and C3: three bedrooms plus one
  • 2,077–3,153 sq ftLBD: four bedrooms plus two, the largest homes
A garden before the front door

Past the private park, the facilities StarProperty lists read like a garden plan: a yoga garden, a garden studio, a garden spa and a garden lounge, a pavilion and a gazebo, a landscaped pond with water features and a boardwalk deck, beside the pool, the tennis court and a jogging track. The Central Park next door is 13.19 acres around a 6.34-acre lake.

We don’t say what your windows look onto; the plans don’t show it, and each home faces its own way. What we can plan is the inside, so the quiet of the walk in doesn’t stop at your door.

Close to a decade of wear

Whatever went in at handover, from taps and grout to switches and light fittings, has done close to ten years of daily work. In a home of this age we look first at the kitchen, the bathrooms, the lighting and the distribution board, and leave floors that are still sound.

ParkCity’s own page describes the tower’s specifications and finishes as “of superior quality”. Where the originals in your home are still sound, they can be worth keeping, so we test before we replace: tiles knocked for hollow spots, hinges and drawer runners tried. And if the home has changed hands, its layout may have changed too, so we measure it rather than trust the sale plan.

02The design

One Central Park interior design that keeps the calm indoors

In a One Central Park home we start where calm is lost first: the hall, the storage and the kitchen, then the bathrooms and lighting close to a decade has worn, then any plus room whose job has drifted.

If the hall is where the day piles up

A clear entrance does more for calm than any finish. A tall shoe cabinet with a bench, hooks for bags and a tray for keys keep the day from travelling past the door, and a low lamp there sets the tone for the rest of the home.

If your plan has a plus room

B1 is a 2+2, the C types are 3+1 and the LBD a 4+2. A study, a guest room, a store or a room for a helper each want different light, sockets and cupboards, so we agree the job with you before anything is drawn. A room that can close its door on clutter does more for calm than one more chair.

If your plan came with two kitchens

One type listed for sale, the B2b, combines a wet kitchen with an open dry one; not every plan does. Where yours has both, the dry side joins the living room, with stone, a counter to lean on and soft light, and the frying stays behind the wet kitchen’s door.

If the bathrooms have had a busy decade

Listings show up to four bathrooms in a 3+1 of about 1,700 sq ft. We usually rebuild the master and the busiest shared one, then regrout and reseal the others, which keeps the works shorter.

If you want the rooms to feel quieter

Fewer materials do most of it: one timber, one stone, linen at the windows and walls in a warm, chalky white. Cupboards with doors rather than open shelves, curtains kept light in the living rooms, and the heavy blackout saved for the bedrooms.

If the switches and wiring are original

We open the distribution board at the site visit and note its age and circuits. If new lighting is planned, that is the moment to add circuits and dimmers, so the ceiling lights can sink low in the evening instead of staying office-bright.

03The design fee

What interior design costs at One Central Park

Sundays in Bed estimates the design fee for One Central Park homes at RM26,875–34,005 for a 1,388 sq ft three-bedroom and RM16,180–19,745 for a 1,034 sq ft two-bedroom.

Each 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 refreshing a One Central Park home with us might cost, layout by layout. Two things move the estimate most. The bathrooms: we price a resale home here as if one of them stays untouched, and each further one you keep takes RM3,565 off. And the plus room: in a 2+2, 3+1 or 4+2 it is a room of its own, so including it adds the same again.

Our design fee, estimated

3 bedrooms, 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.

RM26,875
Renovation and furniture for the rooms you’ve chosen, before our fee
CuratedRM234,000 to RM401,000
Commune, Cellini, Poet Living
BespokeRM447,000 to RM859,000
Space Furniture, BoConcept, Molteni&C

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 fee is signed off before the first drawing and paid in stages. Contractors bill you for the works, so better tiles in the wet kitchen change their invoice and not ours.

Curated furniture comes from Commune, Cellini and Poet Living; at that level, with our fee, a 1,388 sq ft three-bedroom totals about RM261k–435k.

3+1 1,700 sq ftRM34,005–41,135RM272k–463kRM507k–958k

The lower figure covers the kitchens, both halves of the living space, the bedrooms and every bathroom bar one, a usual first scope in a tower of this age. Above it, allow one room more, or two in homes over 1,200 sq ft: perhaps the last bathroom, or a plus room turned study.

Figures as of October 2026, for guidance.

How these figures are worked out

Every row is a resale home in which one bathroom is left alone, as owners seldom redo them all. The three-bedroom and 3+1 rows are priced with an open dry kitchen and a separate wet one, as in the listed B2b, and the two-bedroom row with one open kitchen; we confirm your own plan when we visit.

Air-conditioners, cabinets, a hob, a hood and wardrobes sit inside these ranges, so reusing any that still work brings the total down.

04Working together

A One Central Park renovation with the family still at home

At One Central Park, we plan the order of works before anyone lifts a tool, so the rooms you still live in stay usable and the noisy work keeps to the hours management sets.

We design and manage, and builders do the building: you choose them once we’ve been through their prices together.

  1. Your layout, and your years here Free
    Which of the eight types you own, how long you’ve lived in it, and the small irritations you’d like gone.
  2. A careful look around RM200, waived if you go ahead with us
    Every wall measured, taps run and grout tapped in each bathroom, the distribution board opened, and a list begun of what should stay.
  3. Rooms agreed, then the drawings
    Our fee and the rooms go into writing, followed by the layouts, the lighting and the materials, and a settled job for every plus room.
  4. Prices you can compare
    Builders price the drawings item by item. We lay the quotes out side by side for you, and the decision is yours.
  5. Works around your household
    Permission lodged, lift slots reserved, noisy trades kept to the hours allowed, each stage inspected, and the beds made before you’re back.

Your neighbours are close, above, below and beside you, so we plan the dust screens, the noisy days and the lift bookings with the management office, and tell you the order of work before it starts. The tower runs on card access, with a guardhouse and CCTV, so contractors’ passes are arranged with the management before the first trade arrives. The full process

Management first, then DBKL

The building’s management has to approve renovations in writing, and its rules on deposits, working hours and the lift aren’t public; we request the latest version before drawing anything.

DBKL governs building work here, since One Central Park lies within Kuala Lumpur: moving plumbing or a window needs its approval as well, and your builder normally files any permit.

05Your home

Interior design at One Central Park that catches up with your household

Since handover, the people in a One Central Park home may well have changed: children grown, a spare room turned office, a parent staying longer.

We help the rooms catch up with the household living in them now.

Perhaps the nursery of 2016 is a schoolchild’s room now, or the four-seat table has to stretch to ten at Chinese New Year. Perhaps you’ve just bought from an owner who lived here from the start. Either way, we design for the household you have today, not the one the layout was drawn for.

Keep, adapt, add in a One Central Park home

  • KeepSound floorsFlooring and joinery that have aged well, checked for hollow spots first
  • AdaptKitchenNew fronts and worktops on sound carcasses, and a settled job for the plus room
  • AddLight, storageWarmer, dimmable lighting, and closed cupboards for a household that has grown

From the eight layouts and sale listings; with no developer specification to go on, your home is checked on our visit.

What have homes near One Central Park cost to renovate?

No published renovation names One Central Park. The nearest, by other firms in neighbouring towers, are a 1,300 sq ft Park Place three-bedroom at about RM120,000 (RM92 per sq ft), and three published South Brooks homes, the largest 1,537 sq ft and the smallest 1,001, at RM100,000 to RM150,000.

Those were other owners’ scopes, some without loose furniture, which our ranges include, so read them as a rough check beside the table above.

FAQ

One Central Park, the practical side

Refresh or full renovation: which suits a One Central Park home?

Usually a refresh. The rooms are generous and much of a fit-out from around 2016 holds up, so new kitchen fronts, a rebuilt master bathroom and better lighting tend to change the most; at the visit we show you what can stay.

How much does an interior designer cost at One Central Park?

At One Central Park, our design fee for a 1,388 sq ft three-bedroom is estimated at RM26,875–34,005, and for a 3+1 of about 1,700 sq ft at RM34,005–41,135, agreed in writing before we begin. Renovation and furniture for that three-bedroom run to about RM234k–401k at Curated (Commune, Cellini, Poet Living) or RM447k–859k at Bespoke (Space Furniture, BoConcept, Molteni&C), priced by builders and suppliers.

Can a One Central Park plus room become a home office?

Most can, with good desk light, more power points and an air-conditioner of its own if none was fitted. As a room in our fee it costs RM3,565; left out of the design, it costs nothing.

Can a One Central Park dry and wet kitchen look new without moving the plumbing?

Usually, yes. In the B2b type listed for sale, and any plan like it, the wet kitchen’s plumbing can stay where it is while the open dry side gets new doors, stone and light and starts to belong to the living room. We confirm your kitchen’s layout at the visit.

Can we stay in our One Central Park home during the works?

For a refresh of one or two rooms, usually yes. Once kitchens or bathrooms are opened up, water and dust make daily life hard, and some households stay elsewhere for those weeks; we order the works around your plans.

Who approves a renovation at One Central Park?

The building’s management, in writing, before work starts, with its own deposit, hours and lift rules. DBKL’s approval is needed too for relocated plumbing or a moved window. We collect the current requirements and prepare the drawings they ask for.

What are the eight layouts at One Central Park?

One Central Park’s eight layouts run from 1,034 to 3,153 sq ft built-up. Types A1 and A2 are two-bedrooms of 1,034–1,432 sq ft; B1 is a 2+2 and B2 a three-bedroom, 1,367–1,561 sq ft; C1, C2 and C3 are 3+1s of 1,688–1,991 sq ft; and the LBD, at 2,077–3,153 sq ft, has four bedrooms plus two.

When was One Central Park in Desa ParkCity completed?

ParkCity’s own page dates One Central Park’s completion to January 2017, though several portals give 2016. Perdana ParkCity launched the single freehold tower of 45 storeys and 359 homes in September 2013, on Persiaran Residen beside The Central Park.

What facilities does One Central Park have?

One Central Park is entered through a private park of about 1.8 acres, by the portals’ figure. StarProperty lists a yoga garden, a garden studio, a garden spa and a garden lounge, a pavilion, a gazebo, a landscaped pond with a boardwalk deck, a pool, a tennis court and a jogging track, and The Central Park next door is 13.19 acres around a 6.34-acre lake.

Are there photos of One Central Park homes you have designed?

No: no One Central Park home is among our projects yet. This page works from the eight published layouts, sale listings and what ParkCity says of the tower itself.

What interior design services do you offer at One Central Park?

At One Central Park, condo interior design with us covers all eight layouts, from the 1,034 sq ft two-bedrooms to the 4+2 homes of up to 3,153 sq ft, renovation design included, and it most often starts as a refresh of a home close to a decade old. 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 suit owners who want a lighter touch, and Virtual Design, for homes outside Kuala Lumpur and Selangor, is done online.
