Interior designer at South Brooks
Your South Brooks home, light and airy.
A wok at full heat, towels that never quite dry, a bedroom shut since morning. The towers were angled for light and air, and we plan rooms that keep it moving.
Light sheers, and a bed set well clear of the glass so the door can open wide: small choices that let a South Brooks bedroom take in the air its towers were angled for.

Interior design at South Brooks follows the breeze
South Brooks is a pair of Y-shaped towers in Desa ParkCity, angled by the developer for daylight and ventilation.
Our interior design keeps that air moving through your rooms, and gives cooking smells and wet washing somewhere to go.
In a humid city you notice air mostly when it stops: a towel that won’t dry, last night’s frying still in the curtains, a bedroom that feels close by evening. In a South Brooks home, most of that comes down to where the air can travel, and what stands in its way.
South Brooks isn’t among the homes we’ve designed so far. This guide is built from the published plans, the developer’s account to The Edge, a property review written before the keys went out, and three renovations other firms have published here.
Perdana ParkCity completed the two 40-storey towers in 2021: 920 freehold homes on 7.16 acres off Jalan Residen Utama, on the NKVE side of the township. One review names the South Korean firm Samoo Architect & Engineer as the architect.
The plans range between 876 and 1,537 sq ft built-up, with two or three bedrooms.
- 876 sq ftThe one plan with no yard: two bedrooms and two baths
- 1,001 sq ftTwo bedrooms, with a yard, a larger kitchen and, by one review, a walk-in wardrobe
- 1,093 sq ftThe largest two-bedroom; one version adds a small study
- 1,194–1,283 sq ftThree bedrooms; the 1,283 has an island kitchen and a balcony off the main bedroom
- 1,333–1,537 sq ftA three-bedroom with a study; the 1,537 adds a powder room
Why the towers sit at an angle
The site isn’t a tidy rectangle, so before fixing the towers the developer ran studies of climate, wind direction, shade and solar radiation, it told The Edge in 2022. The towers were then angled to bring natural light and ventilation into the homes.
Air needs a way in and a way out. We look for the path it takes from one opening to the next and keep that path clear: no tall wardrobe across it, and inner doors on stops, so they can stay open without slamming.
Five years of other people’s choices
Keys went out in 2021, and in late 2022 The Edge reported 469 of the 920 homes under renovation. If you bought here since, your home may carry a first owner’s choices laid over the developer’s, and some, like a wall closing off the kitchen, change how air moves.
Before anything is taken out, we list what is sound, what can be refaced, and what blocks the light or the breeze.
Plans tried out before they were built
The developer told The Edge it tested the layouts in mock-up units before launch, and that they keep the private rooms apart from the living spaces. That split is worth holding on to.
If a wall comes down to open up the living room, the bedrooms still need a door that closes for sleep, and a way for air to reach them when it stands open.
South Brooks kitchen design ideas, and where the cooking smell goes
In a South Brooks home it often drifts into the living room, as a review of the plans found no separate wet kitchen.
So we settle the extraction, a sliding screen or a yard turned wet kitchen before any cabinet door is chosen.
If the wok comes out most nights
The island kitchen in the 1,283 sq ft plan puts the hob in the living space. A hood sized for high heat and ducted outside, where management allows, clears far more than one that only filters, and a sliding glass screen can close the cooking off on curry nights while daylight carries on through.
If your plan has a yard
The developer told The Edge that the yards can be converted into wet kitchens. In the 1,001 sq ft plan, that puts the frying behind a door and leaves the open kitchen for coffee and plating up. The washer then needs a new place, and we draw both at once.
If yours is the plan without a yard
In the 876 sq ft two-bedroom, the washing dries indoors. A stacked washer-dryer in a tall cabinet with air behind it, and a ceiling rack where the breeze crosses, keep damp clothes off the bedroom chairs. We check the drain point on the visit.
If damp finds the corners
Wardrobes built hard against an outside wall can trap moisture behind them. We leave an air gap at the back, vent the plinth, and choose finishes that let a wall dry out, such as mineral paint in place of vinyl wallpaper.
If the main bedroom has its own balcony
The 1,283 sq ft plan adds a second balcony, off the main bedroom. Give the other balcony the drying and this one a chair and a few pots, and the bedroom door can stand open on warm evenings with the sheers drawn.
If your windows face the highway
South Brooks sits on the NKVE side of the township, and a property review notes that some stacks face the highway. Those windows may stay shut at rush hour, so we lean on ceiling fans, quiet bathroom extraction and lined curtains that close at night.
If you’d like the air-conditioner on less
Ceiling fans in the living room and bedrooms help move the breeze the towers were angled to catch, and a slatted panel above a bedroom door lets air cross even when the door is shut. On a mild evening, that can be enough.
If the study has to work hard
The 1,333 and 1,537 sq ft plans have a study, and one version of the 1,093 adds a small one. A study kept shut gets stuffy before any other room, so we set the desk where the window can stay open, and wire it for whichever job it takes: office, nursery or guest room.
If you carry the shopping in from the car
The car park is a podium of its own, set apart from the towers; one review explains that the old quarry land made a basement too costly. Bags travel further than in most towers, so a bench, hooks and a deep cupboard just inside the door earn their place.
What interior design costs at South Brooks
At South Brooks, the Sundays in Bed design fee comes to an estimated RM19,745–26,875 for the 1,283 sq ft three-bedroom, or RM16,180–19,745 for a 1,001 sq ft two-bedroom.
It is a fee per room, agreed in writing before we begin.
- Each room we design
- RM3,565
- Living and dining
- RM5,485
Designing and furnishing a South Brooks home with us costs what your chosen rooms add up to. Here, the kitchen is what moves our part most.
Left open, it belongs to the living and dining. Closed behind glass, it becomes a room we design, and paired with a wet kitchen in the yard, two. Choose Closed or Dry + wet below to see the difference.
3 bedrooms and 1 bathroom: 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 fee is set down in writing before the first drawing and paid in stages. A stronger hood or a glass screen shows on the contractor’s bill and leaves ours where it was, because we count rooms.
At Curated, furnished from Poet Living, Cellini or Commune, the 1,283 sq ft three-bedroom totals about RM224k–381k with our fee.
| Home | Our fee | Curated | Bespoke |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3-bed 1,283 sq ft | RM19,745–26,875 | RM204k–354k | RM401k–784k |
| 2-bed 1,001 sq ft | RM16,180–19,745 | RM179k–311k | RM355k–696k |
| 2+study 1,093 sq ft | RM19,745–23,310 | RM193k–335k | RM380k–742k |
| 3+study 1,537 sq ft | RM23,310–30,440 | RM218k–378k | RM426k–830k |
Our lower estimate covers the open-plan living, dining and kitchen, every bedroom and study, and one bathroom. The upper one adds a room, perhaps the second bathroom or a kitchen closed off, or two in plans of 1,283 sq ft and up.
Estimates as of October 2026; contractors price the works.
Behind the estimates
We priced each plan as a 2021 home bought resale, with one bathroom redone and the kitchen left open, as drawn. Each range already counts new air-conditioners, wardrobes, and kitchen cabinets with their hob and hood; where an earlier owner fitted sound ones, keep them and the total drops.

An interior designer for South Brooks who runs the work for you
One person at Sundays in Bed carries your South Brooks renovation from the opening conversation to the day the last lamp is switched on.
We draw and oversee it; the builders are contractors you pick, after we’ve read their quotes together.
- Your plan, over a call FreeWhich plan is yours, whether it has a yard, what an earlier owner changed, and how your household cooks and dries its washing.
- Watching the air move RM200, waived if you go ahead with usTape, camera and open windows: we record every room, see where the air crosses and where it stalls, and note what five years have worn.
- Rooms in writing, then drawingsFirst the rooms and our fee, in writing. After that, the layout with the breeze’s path kept clear, then extraction for the kitchen, lighting and joinery.
- Quotes compared, line by lineSeveral contractors price one drawing set. We sit with you over every line of their quotes, and you decide who builds.
- Works, deliveries, then homeWe book the lifts and deliveries with the office, check every stage of the work against the drawings, and have the rooms ready on the day you move back.
By one review’s count, about twelve homes share each floor, so we book the lifts early and keep the noisy days together. The management office and DBKL both have a say in a South Brooks renovation; we handle both, and you hear from us whenever something moves. The full process
Management’s consent comes first
Work begins only once the South Brooks management office has given written approval. We found no published rules on its deposit, hours or lift use, so we write to the office for them while the drawings are still in progress.
DBKL is the city council here, and some works need its permit, normally filed by your contractor. A duct through an outside wall, or plumbing moved, also needs management’s agreement.
Renovating at South Brooks, for the household living there now
A South Brooks home lived in since the keys needs different things from one bought resale last month.
So the brief begins with the people living in it now.
Maybe a grandparent comes to stay for months at a time, or the study is about to become a nursery. Someone on night shifts needs a bedroom that stays dark and cool by day. Lives like these shape the plan, and the finishes follow.
Downstairs, the developer gave the towers a meadow park, a siesta pavilion and a grapevine trellis, with a sky deck on each roof. If the afternoon lie-down happens there, the balcony at home can stay a working one, for drying and a herb pot.
What a South Brooks renewal usually touches

FAQ
Air, kitchens and costs at South Brooks
How much would an interior designer charge for a South Brooks home?
A South Brooks design fee from us runs to an estimated RM19,745–26,875 for the 1,283 sq ft three-bedroom, and RM16,180–19,745 for a 1,001 sq ft two-bedroom. We charge RM3,565 a room, with RM5,485 for the living and dining together, and the total is agreed in writing before we begin.
The works are separate: at Curated (Commune, Cellini, Poet Living), renovating and furnishing that three-bedroom is an estimated RM204k–354k, before our fee.
How long does a South Brooks renovation take?
The three published renovations here spent six to twelve weeks on site. Allow time before that for design, contractors’ quotes and the management office’s written approval, and book lifts early: by one review’s count, about twelve homes share each floor.
Can the yard in a South Brooks two-bedroom become a wet kitchen?
Yes, in the South Brooks plans that have a yard: the developer told The Edge in 2022 that the yards can be converted into wet kitchens. In the 1,001 sq ft plan, that moves the frying behind a door.
The washer then needs a new spot, and plumbing and drainage are checked with management before we draw.
The 876 sq ft South Brooks plan has no yard. Where does the washing go?
In this South Brooks two-bedroom the washing stays indoors, so we give it a place: a washer-dryer stacked in a tall cabinet with room for air behind it, and a ceiling rack where the breeze crosses, so damp clothes stay out of the bedrooms. The drain point is confirmed on the site visit.
Where the drain allows, a slim sink beside the machine gives you somewhere to soak and hand-wash, the job a yard would otherwise do.
Can the island kitchen in a South Brooks three-bedroom be closed off?
Usually, with a sliding glass screen that holds back smoke and keeps the daylight. A solid wall depends on the plumbing and on management’s consent, both checked before we draw. In the 1,283 sq ft plan, a strong hood ducted outside, where allowed, does as much as the screen.
Do I need DBKL approval to renovate at South Brooks?
For most interior work, the first approval you need is the management office’s, in writing. DBKL, the Kuala Lumpur council, comes in where work moves plumbing, touches the structure or changes the outside of the building, and the contractor normally files that permit. We confirm which applies once the drawings are done.
Which South Brooks floor plans have a yard or a study?
Every South Brooks plan has a yard except the 876 sq ft two-bedroom. Studies come in the 1,333 and 1,537 sq ft three-bedrooms and in one version of the 1,093 sq ft two-bedroom; across all plans, homes run from 876 to 1,537 sq ft, and the 1,283 sq ft three-bedroom has an island kitchen and a balcony off the main bedroom.
Who built South Brooks, and why are its towers angled?
Perdana ParkCity completed South Brooks in 2021: 920 freehold homes in two 40-storey towers, with the South Korean firm Samoo Architect & Engineer named as architect by one review. The developer told The Edge it angled the towers after studying climate, wind direction, shade and solar radiation, to bring natural light and ventilation into the homes.
Can I see a South Brooks home you’ve designed?
Not yet: South Brooks isn’t among the homes we’ve designed so far. This page is built from the published plans, the developer’s account to The Edge, a property review and three renovations other firms have published here.
What interior design services do you offer at South Brooks?
