Interior designer at Papyrus North Kiara

Your Papyrus residence, quietly perfected.

Keys at Papyrus are expected in March 2028, so there’s time to get each detail right. Working from the developer’s plans, we settle who sleeps where and which rooms take the afternoon sun.

Papyrus North Kiara floor plans, bedroom by bedroom

Papyrus North Kiara, two freehold blocks on Jalan Dutamas Dahlia expected in March 2028, has only four- and five-bedroom homes.

Our interior design gives each person in a large household a room that works.

With the keys still some way off, a Papyrus home can be worked out the unhurried way, room by room, with the people who will sleep in them. We’re Sundays in Bed, a studio in Bukit Damansara, and until handover we work from the developer’s floor plans.

Yakin Land, a Kerjaya Prospek company, is building Papyrus on about 4.5 acres in Dutamas, to designs by GDP Architects, with 30% of the land set aside for greenery. By the key plans, its two 38-storey blocks meet at a shared lift lobby, and press reports give six or seven homes to a floor.

Block AExpected 202838 storeys · 209 homes · freehold
Block BExpected 202838 storeys · 245 homes · freehold

Seven plans run from 1,141 to 5,523 sq ft, and not one has fewer than four bedrooms.

1,141–1,313 sq ftFour bedrooms; B1 adds a utility room with its own bath · Types A, B1
1,550–1,615 sq ftFive bedrooms and two kitchens, or four and a study · Types D, C
2,325 sq ftFive bedrooms, a utility room, wet and dry kitchens · Type E
5,523 sq ftFive-bedroom duplex with double-height voids · Type F, 37 homes

The small bedrooms, and the cooling

Four bedrooms in 1,141 sq ft means two are small: the Type A plan draws bedroom 3 with a single bed and a desk, so the joinery in those rooms has to work hard.

Homes are due semi-fitted: by the developer’s specification, Types A to D arrive with kitchen cabinets, an induction hob, wardrobes, lighting, ceiling fans and two air-conditioners. Two air-conditioners for four or five bedrooms is the first gap we’ll plan for together, so everyone sleeps comfortably.

The key plans also show where each type sits on the V. Type A takes the two inner positions on each wing and Type B1 one position on each, while Type C sits at the junction of the wings, beside the lift lobby. Type D holds the wing ends, and the 2,325 sq ft Type E is in Block A only, at its outer end. So the plans with a wet kitchen behind the dry one, D and E, are the homes furthest from the central lift lobby.

The 37 Type F duplexes split their 5,523 sq ft into 3,219 sq ft below and 2,304 sq ft above. Downstairs, besides the living spaces, there is a family hall, a game room and a laundry room; upstairs, a dressing room, a study area and a second family hall. The Edge and EdgeProp report six air-conditioners at handover, an island in the dry kitchen and the option of a garage of 570 to 800 sq ft for up to two cars. Two family halls and a game room is a lot of sitting space, so we give each its own job early, perhaps a television room below and a quiet reading hall above, before the furniture starts to repeat itself.

Behind the drawings are GDP Architects for the towers, SD2, the landscape practice Ng Sek San co-founded, for the grounds, and A&A Concept Design for the common-area interiors. Every published plan has a balcony, and the brochure promises a generous terrace for selected homes. We treat the balcony as part of the living room from the first drawing, with its own floor, a bench and plants that can take the heat.

02The design

Interior design ideas for the smaller Papyrus North Kiara rooms

In a Papyrus home, we start with each person’s room and what a small room has to do for them.

The joinery, the cooling and the lighting follow from that.

If a child has the smaller bedroom

In Types A and B1, bedroom 3 is drawn with a single bed and a desk. If the handover wardrobe stays, we plan a desk, shelves and a reading light around it, so the room still works when your child is fifteen.

If everyone needs to sleep cool

Types A to D come with two air-conditioners. Adding more means agreeing where each outdoor unit sits on the ledges drawn in your plan, and checking the electrical load, before any wall is chased. We’ll look after that with you.

Each plan draws a set number of ledges for the outdoor units: two in Types A, D and E, and four in Type F. A five-bedroom Type D with two ledges may need each ledge to carry more than one unit, or a multi-split system, so we raise it with the developer before handover.

If you cook a lot at home

Types A, B1 and C have one induction kitchen, open to the living room, so for heavy cooking we’d add a stronger hood or a glass screen. In Types D and E, the wet kitchen behind can take the frying.

In Type A the kitchen runs along the entrance wall, with the washer in the same run and no yard, so drying is the open question: the balcony, a heat-pump dryer stacked in the kitchen run, or the laundry the developer lists among the Level 1 facilities. Type B1’s run sits along the back wall instead. Type C’s kitchen is a bay off the living and dining with no door drawn, so its hood does the work a door would. Type E’s dry kitchen comes with a breakfast counter, the natural place for school-morning breakfasts while the wet kitchen stays shut.

For the extra rooms

Type C’s study space suits a built-in desk or a wall of books. The utility rooms in B1 and E each have a bath, so one could be a room for a helper, a store or a visiting parent. We’ll give each one a job first.

With a 2,260 sq ft co-working space among the building’s 51 facilities, a spare room needn’t be kept as an office.

For what comes with the keys

New lighting, ceiling fans, cabinets, a fridge and a microwave come with the handover. We keep whatever suits you and add only where it falls short, so nothing new is thrown away.

The Edge’s list also names a digital lock and a water heater. It doesn’t say how many heaters, and Types C and E have four and five bathrooms, so we check which bathrooms are served before planning anything else in them.

03The design fee

What interior design costs at Papyrus North Kiara

At Papyrus North Kiara, the Sundays in Bed design fee is an estimated RM19,745–23,310 for a Type A and RM30,440–37,570 for a five-bedroom Type D.

It is a fee per room, agreed in writing before we begin.

Each room we design: RM3,565
Living and dining: RM5,485

Below is the design fee for a full Papyrus home. Our fee counts rooms, so a home where everyone has their own starts higher. Every Papyrus home has at least four bedrooms; in Types D and E the wet and dry kitchens count as two rooms, and Type C’s study space counts as one if you want it designed.

How the fee works

The total is set in writing before work starts and paid in stages. A stone top for the Type E breakfast counter changes the builder’s quote; our fee is counted in rooms. How our fees work

A Type A finished at Curated, design fee included, comes to about RM180k–318k.

What the handover leaves out is where the design goes: the extra air-conditioners, desks for the small bedrooms, a stronger hood, and seldom the new wardrobes. Every figure is an estimate until contractors quote.

Estimated design fee, then renovation and furniture
Home	Our fee	Curated	Bespoke
4-bed, Type A 1,141 sq ft · Blocks A and B	RM19,745–23,310	RM161k–294k	RM336k–705k
4 + study, Type C 1,615 sq ft · by the lift lobby	RM23,310–30,440	RM171k–313k	RM355k–743k
5-bed, Type D 1,550 sq ft · at the wing ends	RM30,440–37,570	RM200k–362k	RM403k–833k
5 + utility, Type E 2,325 sq ft · Block A	RM30,440–37,570	RM203k–396k	RM407k–903k

Each lower figure is a typical layout: the living and dining with its kitchen, every bedroom and, in Types D and E, the wet and dry kitchens. The higher one allows one more room in a Type A, or two in larger homes: a bathroom you want changed, or the Type E utility room.

These are October 2026 guides; a quotation comes only from your contractors.

How these figures are worked out

Papyrus homes are new at handover, so bathrooms are kept and not priced. The ranges assume air-conditioning in every bedroom, kitchen cabinets, wardrobes and appliances. The handover supplies two air-conditioners, cabinets, wardrobes, a fridge and lighting; keep them and yours comes in lower.

Furnishing to let?

By the developer’s map, two French schools are within 500 m, which may matter if you plan to let. Our Essential level, with furniture from Ikea, SSF Home and Harvey Norman, finishes quickly and stands up to a busy household, and the design fee is the same at every level.

Renovation and furniture at Essential, before our fee

4-bed, Type A: RM85k–135k
4 + study, Type C: RM91k–145k
5-bed, Type D: RM109k–172k
5 + utility, Type E: RM110k–188k

04Working together

Papyrus North Kiara interior design while your home is being built

At Papyrus, most of the design can be done from the developer’s plan for your type, so drawings and quotes are ready when the keys arrive.

Contractors you choose then build it.

The developer publishes a plan for every layout, seven in all by The Edge’s count, because the Type F duplex is drawn as an upper and a lower floor. Each plan carries a north arrow and a key plan, so before the walls exist we can see which of your rooms take the afternoon sun and where the outdoor-unit ledges fall, and place beds, curtains and cooling around them. The advertising notice records the building plan as BP T1 OSC 2022 2609, approved through DBKL.

Who is moving in Free
Your block and type, who is moving in (children, parents, perhaps a helper), and what the semi-fitted handover gives you.
From the plan, then the keys RM200, waived if you go ahead with us
Until handover we work from the developer’s plan. Once you have the keys, we measure every room, run the two air-conditioners and list what stays.
A job for every small room
Fee and rooms are agreed first. Then layouts, lighting and materials, with a job for each small bedroom, the study space or utility room, and a plan for extra cooling.
Quotes against one drawing set
Contractors price and build from one drawing set. We set their quotes side by side with you, and the builder is your choice.
Building, then moving straight in
Lifts and deliveries go through management, every stage is inspected, and the rooms are dressed so the household can move straight in.

The developer’s handover team, a new management office, DBKL and hundreds of neighbours moving in within months of each other: a new building’s first year is crowded. We keep your works in step with all of them, so you can wait for your keys in peace. The full process

Keys expected in March 2028

Before any contractor starts, list what’s wrong with the home for Yakin Land, in writing. Papyrus falls under DBKL, so the contractor you choose usually applies to the city council for the renovation permit.

The building’s management will need to approve the works as well. Its deposit, working hours and lift bookings haven’t been set yet, so we collect them as soon as they are.

05Your home

Papyrus North Kiara interior designer, from paper plans to family home

A Papyrus home on paper becomes yours once we know who will live in it.

The same Type A can hold three generations or a couple with teenagers, each laid out differently.

For some families it’s a quiet room for a grandparent near a bathroom; for others, the children side by side, each with a desk. We’ll ask who lives with you and how your days run, and make it look good once we know.

The developer spreads 51 facilities over six levels. LG1 has a half basketball court, a play lawn and a car wash; LG2 an orchard, a field, a rain garden and a sprint track; P1 charging points for electric cars and bicycle parking. P2 holds a 1,200 sq ft kids’ education hub, a private event room and a family BBQ, P3 the gym and games room, and Level 1 the lap pool, water play, yoga and reading decks and a meditation pod. The Edge gives 1,308 parking bays, two to six a home depending on type. With bicycles and scooters parked at P1, the entrance of a Type A, where the kitchen run begins, can stay clear for shoes and bags.

From the specification the developer gave The Edge in 2024. Your sale agreement overrides it, so we check yours.

What comparable homes nearby have cost

Papyrus isn’t finished, so it has no renovation records yet. The nearest published one, by another firm, is a 1,770 sq ft four-bedroom at Concerto North Kiara: RM140,000, or RM79 per sq ft, with six weeks on site.

Both figures are on the Mont Kiara renovation cost index, where Dutamas records sit alongside those of Mont Kiara and Hartamas; its median is RM138 per sq ft. Scopes differ, and ours include extra air-conditioning and the furniture, so our ranges sit higher.

FAQ

Papyrus, from floor plan to finished home

Is Papyrus North Kiara in Dutamas or Mont Kiara?

Both names get used. The address is Jalan Dutamas Dahlia, 51200 Kuala Lumpur, in the Dutamas and North Kiara enclave, and listings often file it under Mont Kiara. By the developer’s figures, Publika is 2.3 km away and Solaris Mall Mont Kiara 2.9 km.

The developer also lists Hevea French Primary School at 400 m, the French School of Kuala Lumpur at 500 m, Garden International School at 3.3 km and Mont’Kiara International School at 3.7 km, with 163 Retail Park, 1 Mont’Kiara and Hartamas Shopping Centre at 4.2 km. It also points to a trail to Bukit Kiara, tucked behind SMK Seri Hartamas.

Can I start designing my Papyrus home before the 2028 handover?

Yes, and it helps. With the developer’s floor plan for your type, we can agree the scope, draw the layouts and gather quotes, then confirm measurements once you have the keys. The works themselves wait for vacant possession and management’s approval.

How many more air-conditioners will a four-bedroom Papyrus home need?

Types A to D come with two units, so cooling every bedroom usually means adding two or three more; we confirm where the supplied two sit from your plan. The limit is where the outdoor units go, on the ledges drawn in each plan, so we check space and electrical load before anyone buys equipment.

What could the study space in a Type C become?

It sits on the corridor to bedrooms 2 and 3, so it suits shared use: a homework desk, a home office or a wall of books. If we design it, it adds RM3,565 to our fee; left as it is, nothing.

Type C, the 1,615 sq ft plan at the junction of the two wings, also has a powder room, so a tutor or a colleague working at that desk needn’t use a family bathroom.

How much might it cost to renovate and furnish a Papyrus Type D?

A five-bedroom Type D of 1,550 sq ft comes to roughly RM200k–362k for renovation and furniture at Curated, or RM403k–833k at Bespoke, and our fee is added to either. Both stay estimates until contractors quote.

How should a Type F duplex with double-height voids be designed?

Like a house. The voids over the living area decide curtain drops, pendant heights and how light reaches the upper family hall. We draw both floors together, so the stair, the voids and all five bedrooms read as one home.

When is Papyrus North Kiara due to be completed?

Keys at Papyrus North Kiara are expected in March 2028. Its two freehold blocks on Jalan Dutamas Dahlia, 38 storeys each, hold 209 homes in Block A and 245 in Block B.

Who is the developer of Papyrus North Kiara?

Yakin Land, a Kerjaya Prospek company, is building Papyrus North Kiara on about 4.5 acres in Dutamas. GDP Architects designed the towers and A&A Concept Design the common-area interiors, while SD2, the landscape practice Ng Sek San co-founded, did the grounds.

What layouts does Papyrus North Kiara have?

Papyrus North Kiara has seven plans from 1,141 to 5,523 sq ft, and none has fewer than four bedrooms. Types A and B1 are four-bedrooms of 1,141–1,313 sq ft; Types C and D, 1,550–1,615 sq ft, have four bedrooms and a study or five bedrooms and two kitchens; Type E is a 2,325 sq ft five-bedroom; and the 37 Type F duplexes are 5,523 sq ft.

What is the interior design fee for a Papyrus North Kiara home?

At Papyrus North Kiara, the Sundays in Bed design fee is an estimated RM19,745–23,310 for a Type A and RM30,440–37,570 for a five-bedroom Type D. It is a fee per room, agreed in writing before we begin, and bathrooms are new at handover, so they are not priced.

What interior design services do you offer at Papyrus North Kiara?

Every Papyrus North Kiara plan has four or five bedrooms and a balcony, and our condo interior design covers the homes of 1,141 to 2,325 sq ft, renovation design included. We draw the plans, compare contractors’ quotes with you and manage the works on site, and contractors do the building. Interior styling and our Procurement Concierge are there once the keys come, and Virtual Design serves any home of yours outside Kuala Lumpur and Selangor.
