Interior designer at Sunway GEOLake Residences
Your GEOLake residence, made entirely yours.
Two of the tower’s layouts add a studio with its own entrance, for a parent, an adult child or a tenant. Whatever your layout, we plan each room around the person who will use it.
Light tucked into a ceiling cove and under floating shelves: the kind of layered lighting we’d add when a GEOLake living room is renewed, five years after the keys.

Sunway GEOLake Residences layouts, from lakeside tower to townhouse
Sunway GEOLake Residences in Sunway South Quay, Subang Jaya, is one 44-storey tower of 420 condominium homes plus 44 townhouses, handed over in late 2021, so interior design here usually starts with what five years of living, or letting, has left behind.
You may be moving back in after a tenancy, buying a home someone else has lived in since 2021, or making room for a parent in a dual-key studio. Each begins with the same slow walk through the rooms, sorting what is sound from what is tired.
We haven’t designed a GEOLake home so far, or any home in Bandar Sunway. As Sundays in Bed, an interior design practice based in Kuala Lumpur, we let you pick the rooms you bring us, and each room’s fee is written down and signed before drawing starts.
GEOLake is the last phase of Sunway’s GEO series, built by Sunway South Quay Sdn Bhd on 6.49 acres of 99-year leasehold land at Persiaran Tasik Timur, beside the 28-acre Sunway South Quay lake. Sunway sold it as low density, at 70 homes an acre, and Seksan Design laid out its gardens.

The dual keys, Types D and F
Type D, a 3+1 of 1,410 sq ft, and Type F, a 4+1 of 1,625 sq ft, are listed as dual keys: the extra room is a studio with its own door. One aggregator gives Type D as 1,378 sq ft; the 2018 price list and later listings say 1,410.
Its studio might suit an ageing parent, an adult child, an office where clients call, or a tenant, and each wants different walls, a different bathroom and a different spend. Its future is decided first, before joinery, and if the two households keep different hours we insulate the wall they share.
Five years after the keys
Owners on the buyers’ forum reported vacant possession from 30 September 2021, and Kopi & Property wrote in January 2022 that the homes had been delivered about nine months early, with 417 condominiums and 39 townhouses handed over. So the defect liability period has run out: sealant, grout, door closers and air-conditioner servicing are now the owner’s to look after.
Sunway hasn’t published GEOLake’s handover specification, and kitchen and laundry layouts by type aren’t published either. On the visit we note what your home came with, and anything added since.
The building around you
The developer lists a central park, a lifestyle pool deck and lap pool, a rock jacuzzi, a fitness park, an indoor children’s play area, a maze running park and a barbecue area on Level 44. It markets the building as pet-friendly and as having disabled-friendly conveniences; the launch report added wider doors and ramps in the shared areas.
Raised canopy walkways run from GEOLake to Sunway GEO Avenue, Sunway Medical Centre, Sunway University and Monash, and to the BRT, which links to the LRT and KTM. Sunway South Quay Sdn Bhd also leases homes of 1,604 to 1,776 sq ft here as a landlord.
Sunway GEOLake interior design, sorting what stays from what goes
In a GEOLake home, we first settle who each room is for, whether that’s you, a parent or a tenant, and then go through the home piece by piece, keeping what still works and renewing what years of use have worn.
If the studio is for a parent
A parent in the studio needs quiet more than space: insulation in the shared wall, a soft rug, a reading lamp by the bed. In the bathroom we look at a step-free shower, rails that pass for towel rails and a low night light, and we add a small counter for making tea.
If the studio will be let
For a tenant, the studio wants finishes that shrug off moving day: durable flooring, a compact kitchenette, storage they can actually use and furniture that is cheap to replace. We keep its look in step with your home, so it never feels like the leftover room.
If you’re taking the home back from tenants
Some homes here were let with furniture in them. Where that’s your case, we list what is sound, such as working air-conditioners, solid wardrobes and kitchen carcasses, and what years of tenants have finished: worktops, sofas, mattresses, tired sealant. You get that list in writing before anything new is bought.
If your windows face the lake, or don’t
The tower overlooks Sunway South Quay’s lake, but which stacks face it isn’t published. If your living room has the water, the sofa turns towards it. If it looks elsewhere, we think first about privacy, afternoon glare and the view from the bed.
If you go out on foot
With canopy walkways to the mall, the hospital and the campuses, prams, scooters and shopping bags come home without a car. A deep cupboard at the entrance, with a shelf for wet umbrellas, will help your days more than any feature wall.
If a dog or cat shares the home
Sunway markets GEOLake as pet-friendly, so we choose floors that shrug off claws, performance fabrics on the sofa, rugs you can wash and a feeding corner away from the kitchen’s busiest path.
If the kitchen and laundry need rethinking
Kitchen and laundry layouts by type aren’t published, so we settle on the visit where the washer-dryer and the drying go, and whether heavy cooking needs a closed kitchen or a glass screen.
If you own a townhouse
The townhouses are stacked homes of 1.5 storeys: 2,799 sq ft below and 3,035 sq ft above, each with four bathrooms, on plots with two frontages and no back lane. We plan the stairs and storage for a bigger household, and price them as landed homes.
What interior design costs at Sunway GEOLake Residences
At Sunway GEOLake Residences, the Sundays in Bed design fee is an estimated RM19,745–23,310 for the 1,184 sq ft three-bedroom and RM30,440–37,570 for the 1,776 sq ft 4+1.
It 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 designing a GEOLake home with us costs. Five years after the keys, the fee follows the rooms that need more than a refresh, and in a dual key the studio counts as a room of its own.
3 bedrooms and 1 bathroom: 4 rooms at RM3,565, plus the open-plan living and dining at RM5,485. The foyer and any 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
Your signature on our fee letter comes before the first sketch, and payment follows in stages. Because we count rooms, a dearer tile in the studio’s bathroom raises the contractor’s bill and leaves ours where it was.
A Type C three-bedroom here, furnished at Curated level from Commune, Cellini or Poet Living, comes to about RM224k–377k with our fee included.
In a five-year-old home, the spend usually shows most in the sofa, the beds and the lighting, while sound floors stay.
| Home | Our fee | Curated | Bespoke |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3-bed 1,184 sq ft · Type C | RM19,745–23,310 | RM204k–354k | RM401k–784k |
| 3+1 dual key 1,410 sq ft · Type D, studio priced as a room | RM26,875–34,005 | RM237k–409k | RM456k–879k |
| 4+1 1,776 sq ft · Type G | RM30,440–37,570 | RM268k–459k | RM508k–972k |
| Townhouse 2,799 sq ft lower home · the 3,035 sq ft upper home adds a bedroom | RM26,875–34,005 | RM237k–427k | RM451k–906k |
A range begins with the bedrooms, the open living space and kitchen, and the bathrooms counted below. Its top end allows one extra room in the three-bedroom, such as its second bathroom, and two in the larger homes, perhaps a closed kitchen as well.
October 2026 guides; your contractors’ quotations replace them.
Where the GEOLake figures come from
Keys were handed over from late 2021, so we price these as homes already lived in, leaving one bathroom in each layout unpriced on the assumption that not every one needs redoing.
The dual key’s studio is priced as a room, and Type G’s small room with its own toilet is left out. The townhouse is priced as a landed home.
Every range carries the cost of air-conditioners, a washer-dryer, bedroom wardrobes and a kitchen with its hob and hood. Plenty of homes here already hold some of these from an earlier owner or tenancy; keep what works, and your figure comes down.
Furnishing to let?
Some GEOLake homes are let, and Sunway South Quay itself leases homes of 1,604–1,776 sq ft here. If you plan to let yours, Essential is the level to consider: tough finishes, a quick fit-out and pieces from Harvey Norman, SSF Home or Ikea that are easy to replace. Our fee doesn’t change with the level.

Renovating a lived-in Sunway GEOLake home, and how the work runs
At Sunway GEOLake, the designer on your first call stays with the job to the last styled room.
Drawings and quotes can be prepared while a tenant is still in, and contractors you choose, once their quotes are compared, do the building.
- Your layout and your plans FreeWhich type you own, whether a tenant is still living there, and who the studio or the small room will be for.
- A visit, and a list of what stays RM200, waived if you go ahead with usWe measure up, see where every window faces, test what five years have worn and write down what can stay.
- Rooms and fee agreed in writingRooms and fee signed off first. Layouts, lighting and materials come next, with the studio, the foyer and the kitchen decided early.
- Quotes you can compareContractors price the same full drawing set, their quotes are read side by side with you, and who builds it is your call.
- Works booked, rooms styledApprovals, trades and lift slots are arranged through the management office; we hold each stage against our drawings, and dress the finished rooms for whoever will live in them.
A tenant’s notice, the management’s approval, the council permit and the trades each keep their own calendar. We line them up into one, and you hear what comes next at every stage. How a project runs, step by step
Who approves the work
GEOLake’s 47500 Subang Jaya address points to Subang Jaya City Council (MBSJ), but Bandar Sunway is split with Petaling Jaya’s council (MBPJ), so your assessment bill is the one to check.
If it is MBSJ, the small-works permit carries two RM100 fees, one for processing and one for placing materials, plus a RM250 waste deposit returned on a claim within 12 months; trades may work 8am to 6pm, Monday to Saturday.
For a strata home, the council’s form needs a consent letter from the management body, which may also ask for its own deposit and a completion date. GEOLake’s management office hasn’t published its renovation deposit, hours or lift booking, so we get its current terms in writing before the drawings start.
Sunway GEOLake interior design around the household living there now
At Sunway GEOLake, we plan around the household living there now, perhaps a couple who walk to work at the hospital or the campus, perhaps three generations with a parent in the studio.
Maybe the home returns to you after years of tenants, or a parent is moving into the studio. We start with the household: who spends the day at home, who does the cooking, who stays over at Raya or Chinese New Year, and how much needs to change for that.

Published renovation costs, the closest we have
No published renovation records cover Bandar Sunway yet, ours or anyone’s. The nearest set is in the neighbouring city of Petaling Jaya: 34 renovations by other firms, with a median of RM112 per sq ft and RM237,500 for a whole home.
Those are another city’s homes and another firm’s scopes, so read them as a general guide. They’re on our Petaling Jaya renovation cost index.
FAQ
Sunway GEOLake homes: studios, tenants and the building
Can a GEOLake dual-key studio be designed for a parent, or to let?
Yes. In GEOLake’s Types D and F, the studio is listed with its own door, so we can design it as a small home of its own, for a parent or for a tenant. Our fee treats it as one more room.
For a parent, we plan quiet walls, a step-free shower where the bathroom allows and rails that pass for towel rails. For a tenant, we choose finishes that wear well and furniture that is easy to replace. Sunway marketed the building as disabled-friendly, and the launch report mentioned wider doors and ramps in the common areas.
My GEOLake home was let furnished. Is the landlord furniture worth keeping?
Some of it. In a GEOLake home five years after the keys, working air-conditioners, solid wardrobes and kitchen carcasses usually stay, while worn sofas, mattresses and light dining sets rarely do. We list both on the site visit and give you the list in writing.
That way the money goes where the wear is, and things that are merely out of fashion can wait.
What might renovating and furnishing a GEOLake home cost?
For the 1,184 sq ft Type C at Sunway GEOLake, we estimate renovation and furniture together at RM204k–354k when furnished from Commune, Cellini or Poet Living (our Curated level), and RM401k–784k with Space Furniture, BoConcept or Molteni&C pieces (Bespoke), our fee aside. For the 1,776 sq ft Type G, the same two levels come to RM268k–459k and RM508k–972k.
Our design fee is RM19,745–23,310 for the Type C and RM30,440–37,570 for the Type G, agreed in writing. Contractors’ quotes set the real renovation figure.
Which council approves renovation work at Sunway GEOLake?
Most likely Subang Jaya City Council (MBSJ), going by GEOLake’s 47500 Subang Jaya address, but Bandar Sunway is split with MBPJ, so your assessment bill settles it. The management must approve the work as well.
Under MBSJ, a small-works permit costs RM100 to process plus RM100 for placing materials, with a RM250 deposit you claim back, and trades keep to 8am to 6pm, Monday to Saturday. We collect the management’s own terms before anything is drawn.
What is the address of Sunway GEOLake Residences?
Sunway GEOLake Residences is on Persiaran Tasik Timur, Sunway South Quay, Bandar Sunway, 47500 Subang Jaya, Selangor, beside the 28-acre Sunway South Quay lake.
Raised canopy walkways join it to Sunway GEO Avenue, Sunway Medical Centre, Sunway University, Monash and the BRT. The address also decides which council to check with, since Bandar Sunway is split between two.
Do you design the GEOLake townhouses too?
Yes. GEOLake’s 44 townhouses are stacked homes of 1.5 storeys, 2,799 sq ft below and 3,035 sq ft above, each with four bathrooms, in two rows of 22 with two frontages and no back lane. We price them as landed homes, room by room.
For the lower home, the design fee comes to an estimated RM26,875–34,005, with the stairs and storage planned for a bigger household.
What facilities are available at Sunway GEOLake Residences?
Sunway GEOLake Residences has a central park, a lifestyle pool deck with a lap pool, a rock jacuzzi, a fitness park, an indoor children’s play area, a maze running park and a barbecue area on Level 44, according to the developer’s 2019 project page. The gardens are by Seksan Design.
The building is marketed as pet-friendly, EdgeProp described four tiers of security in 2020, and canopy walkways lead to the mall, the hospital and the campuses.
What are the layouts at Sunway GEOLake Residences?
The Sunway GEOLake tower has seven layouts from 883 to 1,776 sq ft: two bedrooms in Type A and three in Types B and C (883–1,184 sq ft), three or four bedrooms in Types D, E and F (1,410–1,625 sq ft), and the 1,776 sq ft Type G with four bedrooms and a small room with its own toilet. Types D and F are dual keys, each with a studio.
When was Sunway GEOLake Residences completed?
Sunway GEOLake Residences was handed over in late 2021: owners reported vacant possession from 30 September 2021, and Kopi & Property wrote that the homes were delivered about nine months early. The defect liability period has therefore run out, so upkeep such as sealant, grout and air-conditioner servicing is now the owner’s.
Can I see photos of a Sunway GEOLake home you’ve designed?
Not yet: we haven’t designed a GEOLake home so far, or any home in Bandar Sunway. The renovation figures on this page come from 34 published records by other firms in neighbouring Petaling Jaya, so read them as a general guide.
What interior design services do you offer at Sunway GEOLake Residences?
At Sunway GEOLake Residences, we lead with condo interior design for the tower’s seven layouts, and design the townhouses as landed homes. We draw the plans, compare contractors’ quotes with you and manage the works on site, and contractors do the building. Interior styling alone suits rooms that only want finishing, our Procurement Concierge can buy the furniture, and Virtual Design covers homes outside Kuala Lumpur and Selangor.
