Interior designer at One Menerung
The address is One Menerung. The home is yours.
At One Menerung, 229 homes share the promenade, the pools and the forest around them. Behind your own door, we plan every room around the household it holds today.
A long room lit at several heights: wall lights, a floor lamp, a candle on the table. It’s the kind of evening light we’d plan for a One Menerung living room.
Interior designer for One Menerung: a purpose for each generous room
At One Menerung, most homes are turned towards the forest around the site, and even the smallest runs to about 3,000 sq ft.
Sundays in Bed’s interior design gives each generous room a purpose, and the light to suit it.
If you’ve lived at One Menerung a while, you’ll know how its rooms change through the day: bright and green in the morning, then long and shadowy once the lamps should be on.
GDP Architects turned most of the homes towards the secondary forest around the site, and the plans are generous, so light is half the design.
We’re Sundays in Bed, a Kuala Lumpur studio that designs and looks after homes across the city. Our studio is a few minutes away, in Damansara Heights. One Menerung isn’t among our projects yet, so this guide rests on what is published about the estate and what large Bangsar homes tend to need.
BRDB’s One Menerung sits on Jalan Menerung, a short walk behind Bangsar Shopping Centre: 229 freehold homes in two towers and three low-rise blocks, designed by GDP Architects and strung along a tree-lined promenade.
- The two towersCompleted 2009Apartments
- The low-rise blocksCompleted 2009Three lower blocks that link the towers along the promenade
Homes here run from about 3,000 to 10,291 sq ft built-up; most listed today have three or four bedrooms and a helper’s room.
- 3,013–3,658 sq ftThree bedrooms and a family room, or four; a helper’s room
- 4,295–5,200 sq ftFour bedrooms and a helper’s room, some listed with a private lift lobby
- 6,039–7,661 sq ftFive-bedroom tower homes, the townhouses and the link homes
- 8,200–10,291 sq ftThe largest tower homes, with five bedrooms or more
Forest light, and seventeen years of owners
GDP turned most of the homes towards the secondary forest around the site. Indoors, the light comes green and filtered through the trees, and the rooms are long enough that furniture, rugs and lamps need choosing to match. We’ll do that choosing with you.
A 2009 home has also had seventeen years of owners. You may have been here since the towers opened, or bought a home someone else renovated; either way we start from what yours already does well.
Commended by PAM, and a Gold for how it is run
In 2010 One Menerung was commended in the high-rise category of the PAM Architectural Awards, the jury noting its massing and the play of its planes and fins. Ten years on, on about eight acres, it took Gold in EdgeProp Malaysia’s 2020 awards for well-managed and sustainable property, among strata estates ten years and older. It is run by the One Menerung Management Corporation, with Henry Butcher as property manager at the time, and the award write-up noted that residents keep strictly to the by-laws.
An estate run this closely will expect the paperwork in full. We send the drawings, the contractor’s details and the programme to the management office together, so an approval never stalls over a missing page.
One Menerung floor plans, and how your family moves through the day
In a One Menerung home, we begin with how your family moves through a day and decide each room’s part before anything is drawn.
These homes offer more rooms than most households fill.
If you love the view of the trees
Most homes face the forest kept around the towers. We choose sheers, colours and timber to sit with that filtered light, and keep tall joinery off the glass so the trees stay part of your room.
If your guests come for the food
Guests usually see the dry kitchen, so it gets the better finishes. The wet kitchen takes the wok, the rice cooker and bulk storage, and it asks for a strong hood first and handsome doors second.
If the family room is where everyone ends up
The 3,658 sq ft plans add a family room to the living and dining. Television, homework, a quiet study for two: we settle its role early, so the formal living room still gets used.
For evenings in a big room
In a 4,000 sq ft home, a grid of downlights leaves the corners dim. We plan lamps, wall lights and dimmable circuits room by room, so your evenings feel warm in every corner.
In a long living room the sofa often floats away from the walls, so its lamps need floor sockets. We place those, and the switches by each door, before any flooring is laid.
If a previous owner got there first
After seventeen years, someone may already have redone the dry kitchen or a bathroom well. We note on the visit what still works for you and leave it be, then put the money where the years show: most often the bathrooms, the lighting and the air-conditioning.
If weekends are spent on the courts
BRDB lists a gym, several swimming pools, a private futsal and basketball court and a barbecue pit, and other sources add a lap pool, a sauna, and tennis and squash courts. Rackets, boots and damp kit need a home on the way in, so we plan a ventilated sports cupboard near the service door rather than giving a bedroom to it.
StarProperty’s fuller list adds a family pool, a sun deck, a dance studio and changing rooms with saunas, so a teenager’s practice can happen downstairs rather than across the family room floor.
If you’d like your front door to feel like the estate’s gate
GDP Architects drew the arrival as a sequence: a guardhouse built as a garden pavilion, an enclosed plaza, then a diagonal view down a stepped garden to the clubhouse pavilion and the pool, with the shared rooms tucked beneath the buildings off the promenade. We’d carry that idea indoors. From your front door, the first thing seen should be a view through to a lit room or a window, never a wall of shoes, which go into a cupboard beside the door instead.
What interior design costs at One Menerung
At One Menerung, the Sundays in Bed design fee is estimated at RM37,570–44,700 for a three-bedroom with a family room, and RM41,135–48,265 for a 4,295 sq ft four-bedroom.
It is a fee per room, agreed in writing before we begin.
- Each room we design
- RM3,565
- Living and dining
- RM5,485
The One Menerung design fee follows the rooms you choose. Before choosing a single finish for a One Menerung home, stand in the living room at seven in the evening with the lights you have now. Notice where the room falls dark and where you’d want to read. That walk tends to shape the brief more than any sample board.
It also shapes the fee, which counts rooms. Each kitchen is one, so a sound wet kitchen you keep stays off the count, and the family room is priced as a study. The 5,200 sq ft plan comes out below the 4,295 sq ft one because its listing shows one bathroom fewer.
3 bedrooms, a study, 3 bathrooms and the dry and wet kitchens: 9 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
Our fee is written down before the first drawing and settled in stages. Choose marble over porcelain for a vanity and only the builder’s figure moves. How our fees work
Curated finishes from Commune, Cellini or Poet Living, plus our fee, bring a three-bedroom with a family room here to about RM328k–583k.
In a One Menerung home, the rooms that repay attention tend to be the dry kitchen, the main bathrooms and the lighting, and rarely the helper’s quarters.
| Home | Our fee | Curated | Bespoke |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3-bed + family room 3,649–3,658 sq ft · Block A | RM37,570–44,700 | RM290k–538k | RM539k–1.11M |
| 4+1 4,295 sq ft · five bathrooms listed | RM41,135–48,265 | RM322k–594k | RM592k–1.21M |
| 4+1, lift lobby About 5,200 sq ft · four bathrooms listed, one fewer than the 4,295 | RM37,570–44,700 | RM305k–594k | RM565k–1.22M |
Read the first number in a row as the core of the home: its living and dining, two kitchens, each bedroom, and every bathroom bar one. The second makes room for two extras, perhaps that remaining bathroom, or cabinetry for a lift lobby if yours has one.
These are October 2026 guides; a price comes only from contractors’ quotes.
How these figures are worked out
One Menerung was completed in 2009, so every row assumes a resale home. Bathroom counts come from current listings: we price one fewer than each home has, set the helper’s room aside, and count the family room as a study.
Each range allows for cabinets in both kitchens, wardrobes and new air-conditioners. Where an earlier owner has already done these well, we leave them off the drawings.
Furnishing to let?
Some One Menerung homes are let. Where a tenant will live, Essential suits: furniture from Ikea, SSF Home and Harvey Norman, hard-wearing surfaces and a faster finish, at the same design fee as any other level.

Or begin with a figure
Answer a few questions about your space, and you’ll have an estimate to consider in your own time.
A One Menerung renovation, with the same designer start to finish
At One Menerung, the designer on your first visit is still there when the last lamp goes in.
We design and manage; contractors build, chosen by you after we’ve read their quotes together.
Three bays a home, and a household of drivers
Agents list three parking bays with each One Menerung home, more with the largest. Three drivers, a helper running errands and guests arriving for lunch make for a lot of coming and going. We put keys, access cards and the day’s post by the door the family actually uses, and keep the formal entrance clear for guests.
On 3 October 2026, iProperty showed 60 homes here for sale and 44 to rent. Listings aren’t a census, but they point to an estate of owners as much as tenants. If you’ve lived in yours for years, you’ll know which room the afternoon sun reaches first, and we’d ask you before we assume.
StarProperty’s list adds a driver’s room, a guests’ waiting lounge and car-wash bays, and the estate has two ways in, from Jalan Senduk and from the old Jalan Damansara. On works days, we agree with management which of the two the lorries use.
- A first talk about your block FreeYour block and size, who lives with you, what earlier owners changed, and which rooms you use most.
- A walk round the home RM200, waived if you go ahead with usEvery room and both kitchens measured, each window’s aspect and the green it lets in noted, the bathrooms and distribution board looked over, and a list made of what deserves to stay.
- The rooms and the fee, in writingOur fee and the rooms it covers go on paper before any drawing. Then the lighting plan for the long rooms, the joinery, the finishes, and a decision on what the family room is for.
- One set of drawings, several pricesContractors price one identical set of drawings, so their figures compare fairly. We go through them with you, and the builder is your call.
- Works, then the lampsOnce the management office approves, we pad the lift and common areas, check each stage against the drawings, and set the lamps last.
A renovation here involves the management office, DBKL, a run of trades and the neighbours along the promenade. We keep them moving in order, so you aren’t the one chasing them. The full process
The management office, then the permit
On the estate, renovations need the management office’s approval, and where a permit is required it comes from DBKL; your licensed contractor normally applies.
Neither the renovation deposit, the working hours nor the lift rules are public here, so before a single contractor prices the job, we ask the management corporation for its current by-laws in writing.
BRDB’s One Eleven Menerung (sold today as 111 Menerung) is being built next door, expected to complete in January 2027; if your windows face it, we note that on the visit.
One Menerung interior design for the household you have today
One Menerung’s 4,295 sq ft plan can house two people whose children have left, or six who all still need a room.
Yours is planned around the household it holds today.
Maybe parents come to stay for the school holidays, a helper lives in, two of you work from home, and Sunday lunch is for fourteen. A home here has room for all of it. We’ll help you decide who uses which room and when, with the trees outside as the backdrop.
What to keep, and what to change
- KeepThe planTwo kitchens, a helper’s room with its bathroom, and rooms that face the green
- AdaptBathrooms, lightingAny 2009 fittings still in place, and lighting that leaves long rooms dim
- AddScale and purposeFurniture and rugs sized for the rooms, and a clear job for the family room
BRDB has published no finishes schedule, and owners have changed a great deal since 2009, so we assess each home in person.
What large Bangsar homes have cost to renovate
There’s no One Menerung home of ours to show you, so these figures are other firms’, published for Bangsar. Nine of them state both a cost and a floor area, and their median works out at RM114 per sq ft.
The two closest in size: Serai, BRDB’s development in Bukit Bandaraya, at 3,300 sq ft for RM650,000 (below Serai’s smallest plan, so perhaps part of a home), and a 3,500 sq ft home at The Estate for RM400,000.
At that median, a 4,295 sq ft four-bedroom here would come to roughly RM490,000. Our own Bangsar project, at Bangsar Hill Park, is on the same index, so you can check our figures against everyone else’s. Every record is listed on the Bangsar renovation cost index.

FAQ
One Menerung: kitchens, views and the building next door
Can we keep the wet kitchen and redo only the dry one?
Often. Guests see the dry kitchen, so that’s where the look lives; a wet kitchen in good order may want only a stronger hood and new doors. Each kitchen counts as one room on our fee, so the one you leave alone isn’t charged.
Roughly what does a One Menerung four-bedroom cost to renovate and furnish?
Renovating and furnishing a 4,295 sq ft four-bedroom here comes to an estimated RM322k–594k when the furniture is Curated, from Commune, Cellini or Poet Living, and RM592k–1.21M when it is Bespoke, from Space Furniture, BoConcept or Molteni&C. Our design fee is separate, an estimated RM41,135–48,265 either way, and a wet kitchen left as it is comes off the first figure.
Do One Menerung homes look onto the forest or the city?
GDP, the architect, turned most homes towards the secondary forest around the site; others look elsewhere. We don’t design around a view we haven’t seen. On the visit we note which way each room faces, then plan curtains and lighting to suit.
What can be done with a private lift lobby?
If your home has one, it’s where guests arrive and shoes come off. A slim cabinet, a bench, a mirror and one good lamp turn it into a proper entrance. Fixings into its walls may need management’s say-so, so we ask before anyone drills.
We own a Block B townhouse. How is the brief different?
It runs over several storeys, so the stairs and landings become rooms in their own right: light on every flight, storage beside the stairs, and a decision about which floor sleeps and which receives guests. We plan each level before choosing furniture.
Is the building work next door a reason to wait?
Not usually. One Eleven Menerung is expected to complete in January 2027, and design and quotes take months, so planning can start now. If your windows face that site, we time the final clean and the soft furnishings for after the noisiest work.
What interior design services do you offer at One Menerung?
One Menerung’s 229 homes sit among secondary forest, and our condo interior design for its three- and four-bedroom homes of 3,658 to 5,200 sq ft, finished in 2009, includes renovation design. 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 can stand alone, and homes outside Kuala Lumpur and Selangor come to us through Virtual Design.
