Interior designer at The Atera
Your Atera home, thought through before the keys.
Before the keys, there’s time to decide what to keep from Paramount’s package, what to add, and who each room is for. Tower 1 is due to complete in November 2027.
A console on its own legs, a lamp and a chair by the door: the kind of small entrance we’d make inside an Atera two-bedroom, where you step from the front door right into the living space.

The Atera floor plans, and what each home will be when the keys arrive
The Atera is Paramount Property’s pair of serviced-apartment towers in Section 14, Petaling Jaya, still being built, so interior design here starts from the floor plan in your sale agreement and builds on what Paramount hands over.
Interior designer in Petaling Jaya
Every Atera home will arrive with something already in it. Paramount hands each one over semi-furnished, with the lights, fans, air-conditioning, switches and a digital door lock all answering to one phone app. What the package holds hasn’t been listed in public, so the design starts from the schedule in your sale agreement.
Sundays in Bed works from Kuala Lumpur, and no one has renovated an Atera home yet, us included, since neither tower is finished. We can still draw yours from the floor plan attached to your sale agreement, with the fee for each room agreed in writing before we start.
The legal developer is Aneka Sepakat Sdn Bhd, building under the Paramount Property name on leasehold land that runs to 7 April 2103. A 400 m covered walkway leads to Asia Jaya station on the LRT Kelana Jaya Line, and cars come in off Jalan 51A/223 along a raised driveway built for the site.

What the brochure specification says
Paramount’s Phase 2 brochure (April 2026) gives bedrooms laminated floors and tiles everywhere else. Bathroom tiling goes all the way up, kitchen tiling stops at 1,500 mm, and some internal walls in the two- and three-bedroom types are drywall. Ceilings are skim coat and paint or plaster, at a height the brochure doesn’t give.
It counts points where you might expect a list of appliances: three air-conditioner points in a two-bedroom, four in a three-bedroom and six in the dual key, with four to six ceiling-fan points and two or three for water heaters. Every home also gets water filtration.
The counts climb with size: a two-bedroom has 13 lighting points, 14 sockets and one fibre outlet, a three-bedroom 16, 16 and one, and the dual key 26, 27 and two.
Four plans, and how each one lives
The one-bedroom runs its kitchen along one wall by the foyer, with dining and living in one room and the yard beside the bathroom. In the two-bedroom, living, dining and kitchen share one L-shaped room with the yard behind the kitchen, and the two bedrooms sit side by side, the main one en suite.
The three-bedroom sets its kitchen along the entrance wall, then the dining, then the living room and its balcony, with two bathrooms side by side. The dual key keeps a full home of three bedrooms, a utility room, a yard and a balcony, and gives its fourth bedroom a separate foyer and door, a bathroom, a pantry point and an electrical board of its own.
The podium, the sky lounges and the walk to the train
Each tower keeps its facilities on a Level 7 podium, among them a pool, a gym, a function room and a co-working lounge, and there are sky lounges on Levels 48 and 52. The building is rated GreenRE Silver, with rainwater harvesting, EV chargers, solar power for the common areas and automated waste collection on every floor.
With a co-working lounge a lift ride away, the second bedroom of a two-bedroom needn’t give itself over to a desk, and a waste inlet on your own floor means the kitchen bin can be small.
Interior design ideas for The Atera, around what Paramount has decided
At The Atera, the walls, the open kitchen and the app are already chosen, so we start from them: which walls can carry weight, where the cooking goes, and which new fittings will join the system.
If something heavy will hang on a wall
Where a partition in the two- or three-bedroom is drywall, it can hold a television, a run of shelves or a tall wardrobe only once timber or metal backing is set behind the board. So every heavy piece goes on the drawings with its backing before anything is bought.
If you cook where you sit
Every Atera plan opens the kitchen to the room you sit in, with tiles stopping at 1,500 mm. For daily wok cooking we’d put the money into a more powerful hood or a glass panel first, and carry the backsplash past the tile line only where the cooking needs it.
If you’d like one app to run it all
New pendants, fans and dimmers should join the system the building already has, so you aren’t left juggling two apps. The brand isn’t published, so we check each fitting with the system’s supplier before it is specified.
If your plan has no balcony
On the brochure’s plan, the two-bedroom has an air-conditioner ledge where a balcony might be, so the washing dries in the yard and everything else is stored indoors. A shoe cabinet by the door and a dining table wide enough to work at often earn more than one more wardrobe.
If you’re adding air-conditioners
The specification gives three air-conditioner points in a two-bedroom, four in a three-bedroom and six in the dual key. A unit beyond those means checking the home’s electrical load first, and in the dual key each side has its own board to check.
If the fourth room has its own door
In the dual key, the fourth bedroom has its own entrance, bathroom, pantry point, doorbell and electrical board. Who it is for decides the rest: soft furnishings and a solid door for quiet, and storage sized to someone living there.
This type also doubles the kitchen sink, the hob point and the fibre outlet, so the fourth room’s pantry can take a small sink and hob of its own, and its occupant a separate internet line.
If the Wi-Fi has to reach the far bedroom
A two- or three-bedroom has a single fibre outlet, so where the router sits decides how well the furthest room connects. We mark it on the drawings with the television and the desk, and add a second access point only where the plan needs one.
If you’d like one floor throughout
Bedrooms arrive laminated and the rest tiled, all of it new. Most homes can keep both and let rugs bridge the change, but if you’d like a single floor from the door to the bedrooms, it is better decided before the keys than after.
If the package suits you
Floors, tiling and bathrooms all arrive new, along with whatever furnishing your schedule lists. Whatever is sound stays, and the spend goes where the package stops.
If the whole floor gets keys with you
With about 18 homes a floor and 756 in Tower 1 alone, many neighbours will be fitting out in the same season. Drawings finished before handover let you book a contractor, lift slots and deliveries early, once the management’s rules are known.
What interior design costs at The Atera
At The Atera, the Sundays in Bed design fee is an estimated RM12,615–16,180 for a 775 sq ft two-bedroom and RM16,180–19,745 for a 1,022 sq ft three-bedroom.
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 an Atera home with us costs, worked out room by room. Every home here is new, so the bathrooms are counted as kept, and the figure moves with how many rooms you hand us, the dual key’s fourth room among them.
2 bedrooms: 2 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 written into a letter you sign before we draw, and you pay it in stages. It rests on the rooms we design, so if Paramount’s tiles give way to stone, the contractor’s figure grows and ours holds.
Our fee and a Curated fit-out (Commune, Cellini, Poet Living) together bring a two-bedroom here to about RM135k–242k.
In a new Atera home, storage, the kitchen wall and lighting the app can run tend to matter most, and the new tiles can stay. Until contractors price the drawings, take every figure as a guide.
| Home | Our fee | Curated | Bespoke |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2-bed 775 sq ft | RM12,615–16,180 | RM122k–226k | RM264k–558k |
| 1-bed 559 sq ft | RM9,050–12,615 | RM103k–193k | RM228k–485k |
| 3-bed 1,022 sq ft | RM16,180–19,745 | RM141k–260k | RM300k–631k |
| Dual key 1,420 sq ft | RM19,745–26,875 | RM161k–294k | RM336k–705k |
Lower figures cover the bedrooms plus the open living, dining and kitchen. Upper figures allow a room more, the main bathroom perhaps, and two more in the 1,420 sq ft dual key.
October 2026 estimates; the contractors’ quotations take over from here.
Where the Atera figures come from
Each home is brand new, so none of its bathrooms is in the sums. The dual key’s row counts all four bedrooms, its separate room included.
The ranges include wardrobes and kitchen cabinets, the hob and hood over them, a washer-dryer and the air-conditioners. Paramount hasn’t itemised the semi-furnished package, so your sale agreement’s schedule decides what comes off.
Furnishing to let?
If an Atera home is being furnished for tenants, perhaps the one-bedroom or a two-bedroom, Essential would be our suggestion: tough finishes, a short fit-out, and furniture from Ikea, SSF Home or Harvey Norman. Our fee doesn’t move with the level.

Starting The Atera’s interior design before the towers are finished
At The Atera, Tower 1 is expected to complete in November 2027 and Tower 2 in October 2028, so your drawings can be finished while the towers are still going up.
One designer sees the work through with you, and the builder is a contractor you pick after we’ve compared the quotes together.
- Tower, plan and household FreeTower 1 or Tower 2, the plan type, the people moving in or the plan to let, and the items your sale agreement’s schedule lists.
- A visit once the keys arrive RM200, waived if you go ahead with usAfter handover we measure each room, find every drywall partition, try the app-run points, and note which package items deserve to stay.
- The rooms and the fee, signedBefore any drawing, the rooms and our fee are agreed in a signed letter. Then come the layouts, the lighting and the materials, every drywall fixing marked, the open kitchen shaped to your cooking.
- Drawings priced side by sideEach contractor prices the same set, so the quotes line up item by item. We read them through beside you, and you appoint the builder.
- On site, then ready to live in or letLift and delivery slots are booked with the management once it is formed, every stage is measured against the drawings, and the styling suits you or a first tenant.
In the first months after handover, Paramount’s defect team, a new management office, MBPJ and a floor of neighbours all want something from your calendar. Keeping all of them in order is our job, and you always know what comes next. How we work, step by step
Keys, defects and sign-off
On handover day, walk every room and send Paramount a written list of defects before any contractor starts; your sale agreement sets how long it has to put them right. The design itself can be drawn months ahead, from the floor plan in that agreement.
MBPJ approved both towers’ building plans. For a strata home, its small-works checklist wants consent in writing from the management and a contractor on the CIDB register, and work may run from 8am to 6pm on any day but a Sunday or public holiday.
The Atera’s management isn’t formed yet, so there is no published deposit, no set of working hours and no lift-booking procedure. They are our first request once the office opens.
The Atera renovation brief: the household first, then the finishes
At The Atera, a handful of plans stack up both towers, so the brief comes from whoever is moving in, or the tenant you have in mind, and two homes of one plan can end up quite unlike each other.
Paramount pitched the two-bedroom at newly married couples, the three-bedroom at established families and the dual key at several generations under one roof. Who actually moves in is another matter, and the plan should follow them.
Perhaps the two-bedroom is a first home for two, with one desk to share and a cook who likes the wok. Perhaps the dual key’s fourth room is for a parent who wants a door of their own. We begin with those weekdays, and the finishes come after.
Arriving with the keys: keep, adapt or add
- KeepFloors, bathroomsNew tiles in the shared rooms, laminate in the bedrooms, bathroom walls tiled full height
- AdaptKitchen, appThe open kitchen with its 1,500 mm tile line, and the one app that runs lights, fans and cooling
- AddBacking, storageBacking behind drywall for heavy pieces, and cupboards beyond the package
From Paramount’s Phase 2 brochure specification of April 2026; where your sale agreement differs, it overrides this. There is no public list of what “semi-furnished” means, so your schedule is the first thing we read.
What four compact PJ renovations cost other firms
No Atera renovation exists yet, so the nearest guide is four small condominiums in Petaling Jaya and Ara Damansara that other firms have renovated and published. They ran from 600 to 935 sq ft and cost RM68,000–150,000, or RM86–160 per sq ft, with 8 to 14 weeks on site.
Maisson Residence’s 600 sq ft one-bedroom, the smallest, cost RM68,000 over nine weeks; Verando Residence’s 935 sq ft home, the largest, cost RM150,000 over eight. At those rates, works alone on a 775 sq ft Atera two-bedroom might come to about RM67,000–124,000, under the Curated range above, since that also buys the furniture. You’ll find them on our Petaling Jaya renovation cost index.
FAQ
The Atera, asked before the keys
Can a TV or wall cabinets hang on The Atera’s drywall?
Yes, once each fixing is planned. At The Atera, Paramount’s specification lists drywall for some internal walls in the two- and three-bedroom types, so a wall-hung television, wall cabinets or floating shelves need timber or metal backing, or fixings rated for board, marked on the drawings before anything is ordered.
A board partition is also simpler to move than brick, if the management agrees once it is formed.
What does ‘semi-furnished’ include at The Atera?
Paramount hasn’t published an itemised list for The Atera. Its specification counts points rather than appliances: three air-conditioner points in a two-bedroom, four in a three-bedroom and six in the dual key, with four to six ceiling-fan points.
Your sale agreement’s schedule decides what you actually receive, and we go through it line by line with you, then design only for the gaps.
How could the fourth room in The Atera’s dual key be used?
Decide who it is for first. In The Atera’s 1,420 sq ft dual key, the fourth room has its own entrance, bathroom, pantry point, doorbell and electrical board, so it can be a parent’s room with some independence, a grown child’s, or an office with its own door.
For a parent we’d plan quiet, soft light and a clear route to the bathroom; for a grown child, storage and a proper desk. Letting it separately depends on house rules that haven’t been issued yet.
Will new lights and fans work with The Atera’s smart-home app?
They can, if they are chosen for it. At The Atera, lighting, fans, air-conditioning and switches all answer to one mobile app, alongside a digital door lock, and the maker of the system hasn’t been published.
So before we specify a pendant, a fan or a dimmer, we check with the system’s supplier that it will join that app, and you aren’t left with a second one.
When will The Atera be completed, and when should design start?
Paramount’s advertising notices give The Atera’s expected completion as November 2027 for Tower 1 and October 2028 for Tower 2. In June 2026, Tower 1 had road, drainage and power cabling works under way and Tower 2 its car-park podium, so both are expected dates.
We’d begin the design some five or six months ahead of handover, working from the plan attached to your sale agreement, so that drawings and quotes are in hand on the day you can get in.
What does fitting out an Atera home cost on top of the purchase?
At The Atera, the fit-out comes on top of the purchase: for the 775 sq ft two-bedroom we estimate RM122k–226k at Curated (Commune, Cellini, Poet Living) or RM264k–558k at Bespoke (Space Furniture, BoConcept, Molteni&C), before our fee.
Whatever the semi-furnished package already supplies, air-conditioners or wardrobes perhaps, comes off those figures.
Is The Atera freehold?
No. The Atera is leasehold, on land whose lease runs to 7 April 2103, and both towers are sold as serviced apartments. The land carries a restriction in interest as well, so a transfer, lease or charge needs the State’s consent.
Both towers’ building plans were approved by MBPJ, the Petaling Jaya City Council, which is also the council for any renovation permit later.
Where is The Atera located in Petaling Jaya?
The Atera is in Section 14, Petaling Jaya, beside the LRT Kelana Jaya Line, with a 400 m covered walkway to Asia Jaya station. Cars reach it off Jalan 51A/223, along a raised two-way driveway built for the site.
Paramount’s brochure puts the Federal Highway 2 km away and the LDP 5.2 km, with SPRINT at 6 km, the NPE at 7 km and the NKVE at 8 km.
What are the floor plans at The Atera?
The Atera has four plans: a 559 sq ft one-bedroom, in Tower 1 only; a 775 sq ft two-bedroom with the main bedroom en suite and no balcony; a 1,022 sq ft three-bedroom with two bathrooms side by side and a balcony; and a 1,420 sq ft dual key, with three bedrooms and a fourth behind its own door, with its own bathroom. Every plan opens the kitchen to the room you sit in.
Who is developing The Atera?
The Atera’s legal developer is Aneka Sepakat Sdn Bhd, building under the Paramount Property name. Tower 1 is Phase 1, with 756 homes, and Tower 2 is Phase 2, launched in 2024, with 876.
What facilities does The Atera have?
Each tower at The Atera keeps its facilities on a Level 7 podium, among them a pool, a gym, a function room and a co-working lounge, with sky lounges on Levels 48 and 52. The building is rated GreenRE Silver, with rainwater harvesting, EV chargers, solar power for the common areas and automated waste collection on every floor.
Can I see photos of a home you’ve designed at The Atera?
Not yet: no one has renovated an Atera home, us included, since neither tower of The Atera is finished. We can still draw yours from the floor plan attached to your sale agreement.
What interior design services do you offer at The Atera?
At The Atera, we design condo interiors for every plan, the dual key included, often before the keys arrive. We draw the plans, compare contractors’ quotes with you and manage the works on site, and contractors do the building. Interior styling dresses rooms that need nothing built, our Procurement Concierge sources each piece for you, and Virtual Design reaches homes outside Kuala Lumpur and Selangor.
