Interior designer at TRiARA Residences

Your TRiARA home, ready to grow with you.

A pram this year, perhaps a grandparent’s wheelchair later: these plans were drawn with every age in mind, and we design the rooms so the home keeps pace with your family.

Long open-plan room with a low linen sofa, a round timber coffee table, a dining table under a paper pendant, an arched doorway and a stone kitchen island with woven stools, palms at the window

Sofa, table and island in one long room: the kind of open plan we’d weigh up in a Type A, where the wall beside the kitchen is marked to come out.

TRiARA Residences floor plans, each drawn for the years ahead

TRiARA Residences is Sime Darby Property’s freehold condominium in Ara Damansara, still being built, and every home has three or four bedrooms, so interior design here starts with who each bedroom is for, today and in ten years.

Interior designer in Petaling Jaya

Buying a home before it is built means living with a drawing for a while, and TRiARA’s drawings say more than most. The front door is drawn wider than usual, for prams and wheelchairs. The master bath has a wheelchair’s turning circle drawn into its plan. The yard is labelled for laundry and kitchen work. Each is a clue to the household the plan expects, and to the choices worth making before the keys.

At Sundays in Bed, we draw a home, then see it through the works and into daily life. TRiARA is still under construction, so we haven’t designed a home here yet. If yours is the first, its fee is set room by room and put in writing before any drawing starts.

Sime Darby Property, the master developer of Ara Damansara, calls TRiARA its final high-rise in the township with a residential title. Its 450 freehold homes stand in three blocks on 5.62 acres off Jalan PJU 1A/7, at about 80 homes to the acre, and 2.9 acres of the site are landscaped.

  • Towers A and CDue 2028Two blocks · 292 homes · ten to a typical floor
  • Tower BDue 2028One block · 158 homes · eight to a floor, Type C at the corners

Three layouts make up 438 of the 450 homes, from 1,216 to 1,808 sq ft built-up.

  • 1,216 sq ftType A: three bedrooms, two bathrooms; 210 homes
  • 1,507 sq ftType B: three bedrooms, a study, three bathrooms; 189 homes
  • 1,808 sq ftType C: four bedrooms, a study, a utility room; 39 homes, Tower B only
What the three plans already hold

Every type has storage drawn just inside the entrance, a yard set aside for laundry and kitchen work, and a balcony running the full width of the home with its own tap and power point. The developer also lists natural ventilation for every room, so each bedroom has a window that opens to the air.

Type A, the commonest plan, sizes each bedroom for a queen bed with room for a desk, and its second bathroom opens into bedroom 2 through a sliding door. That pairing makes bedroom 2 a ready guest suite, or a teenager’s room with a bath of its own.

Type B gives its open kitchen an island and puts the study off the living room; the brochure calls that room a study and the developer’s web page a utility room, which tells you it can be either. Type C keeps a junior master with its own bathroom beside the front door, a utility room next to it, and a study beside bedroom 3.

One partition in each plan can go

Sime Darby sells every unit with walls the buyer may customise, and its brochure hatches one partition on each plan: between the kitchen and the entrance in Type A, between the study and the living room in Type B, between the study and bedroom 3 in Type C. Selected units may even be joined into one home of as many as 6+1 rooms, on the developer’s terms.

A partition removed after the wardrobes are fitted means paying twice, for the wall and for the cabinets that met it, so we settle the walls with you on paper first.

Around the three blocks

The brochure measures the neighbourhood by radius: Lotus’s 0.1 km away, Oasis Ara Damansara 0.2 km, CITTA Mall 0.6 km and Ara Damansara Medical Centre 0.9 km, with the Ara Damansara and Lembah Subang LRT stations each 1.4 km off. With a hypermarket next door, a bulk-buy store matters less than a proper landing place inside the front door for bags, keys and shoes.

Each block has its own private drop-off point, and the developer describes round-the-clock security. For a parent who is driven home, a drop-off at the block’s own door is a real comfort.

The developer also mentions a limited number of garden units that lead straight to the recreational facilities. In one of those, the garden door works as a second entrance, and it deserves what a front door gets: a mat, a hook and a place for wet towels.

Shared rooms on the podium

More than twenty facilities sit on the Level 6 podium. PropertyGuru’s list of 22 includes a gym, a badminton hall, a multipurpose hall and a barbecue area, and the developer adds forest nooks, a co-working garden and what it calls an Aqua Pool Ramp. With a co-working garden a lift ride away, the study can stay a quiet room rather than a full-time office.

The development is rated GreenRE Gold (Provisional), with rainwater harvesting, solar panels for some common areas and a compost and recycling area. A two-bin drawer in the kitchen makes that recycling area easy to use, and it takes no extra space if it is planned in from the start.

02The design

Interior design at TRiARA Residences, and who each room is for

In a TRiARA home, we first agree who each room is for, today and in the years to come, and how you cook.

Those two answers decide most of the drawing.

If a parent may move in one day

Type C’s junior master sits by the front door with its own bathroom and the utility room beside it. In every type, the master bath is the one with the wider door and the turning circle. Whichever room a parent takes, we plan a level shower, grab rails set where hands will reach for them, and a soft light along the way to the bathroom at night.

If one of you works from home

Type B’s study opens off the living room behind its removable partition; Type C’s sits beside bedroom 3. Keep the partition and add a door for calls, or open it into a family room. In a Type A, where each bedroom is sized for a desk, the work corner can go in bedroom 2. We settle it before the wiring is drawn, since sockets and data points follow the desk.

If the kitchen is where everyone gathers

All three plans open the kitchen to the dining, and Type B adds an island. With the yard marked for kitchen use, the wok and the deep fryer can move out there while the island stays for breakfast and homework, or a glass screen can close the kitchen off when you want it closed.

If the balcony becomes your evening room

A balcony the full width of the home, with a tap and a socket already drawn, has room for planters, a wall light and a small table for two. We choose outdoor fabrics that dry quickly and set the planters where the tap can reach them, within whatever rules the management sets.

If you prefer fresh air to the air-conditioner

With natural ventilation in every room, it pays to keep the windows free: wardrobes on the inside walls, beds where the breeze can cross them, sheers that let the air through, and a ceiling fan where the brief allows one.

What we would leave as handed over

The bathrooms will be new, and the developer’s details for later years, the wider doors and the turning circle, are worth keeping. Sime Darby hasn’t published the rest of the handover list, so we compare what arrives with your sale agreement and design around whatever stays.

03The design fee

What interior design costs at TRiARA Residences

At TRiARA Residences, the Sundays in Bed design fee is an estimated RM16,180–23,310 for a Type A three-bedroom, RM19,745–26,875 for a Type B with its study and RM23,310–30,440 for a Type C four-bedroom with its study, agreed in writing before we begin.

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

Here is the TRiARA design fee, type by type. Every bathroom will be new, so none is on the list unless you want one changed, and the entrance storage and the yard, which all three plans include, are designed at no charge. The fee is the rooms you hand us, and no more.

Our design fee, estimated

3 bedrooms: 3 rooms at RM3,565, plus the open-plan living and dining at RM5,485. The foyer and utility yard are designed free.

RM16,180
Renovation and furniture for the rooms you’ve chosen, before our fee
CuratedRM141,000 to RM260,000
Commune, Cellini, Poet Living
BespokeRM300,000 to RM631,000
Space Furniture, BoConcept, Molteni&C

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

We write the total down before the first sketch, and it is settled in stages as the work moves on. It stays where it is whatever the contractors charge: taking out a marked partition, or sintered stone on Type B’s island, changes their quote and leaves our fee untouched.

Furnished at Curated, from Poet Living, Commune or Cellini, a Type A here comes to about RM157k–283k with our fee included.

Lower figure: every bedroom, the open kitchen with the living and dining and, in Types B and C, the study. Upper figure: two rooms more, say a bathroom you’d change, or Type C’s utility room made over for guests.

Estimates at October 2026 rates; only contractors can quote.

Where these figures come from

No bathroom is priced, because TRiARA’s will all be new; count any you’d still change. The study in Types B and C is a room we design, and Type C’s utility room is left as built.

Each range includes wardrobes, kitchen cabinets with a hob and hood, lighting and air-conditioners. Sime Darby hasn’t yet said what comes with the keys, so whatever arrives and stays brings these figures down.

Furnishing to let?

If you’ll let your TRiARA home once it is finished, our Essential level, furnished from Harvey Norman, Ikea and SSF Home, goes in quickly and is simple to keep ready between tenants. Choosing it leaves the design fee as it is.

At Essential, renovation and furniture before our fee

04Working together

Your TRiARA Residences interior designer, ahead of the keys

Sime Darby expects TRiARA Residences to be finished in 2028, so your design can be drawn well before the keys, and one designer sees it through with you.

We plan and run the work; the building is done by contractors you pick once their quotes have been weighed with you.

The developer’s October 2023 press release set completion for 2028. The first brochure’s fine print had said August 2026, and a 2025 leaflet says January 2028, so the date in your own sale agreement is the one we plan from: drawings and quotes ready a few months ahead, and nothing ordered until the finished rooms are measured.

TRiARA was released in two phases, yet the developer gives one completion year for all three blocks. If they hand over close together, lift slots and good contractors will be booked fast in the first months, which is the strongest reason to have the drawings ready early.

Until then, the show unit at Sime Darby’s Ara Damansara sales gallery is the nearest you can get to standing in your own rooms. Its furniture is styling and not part of the sale, so it is worth visiting with a tape measure: the depth of the study, the length of the kitchen wall, the width of the balcony.

  1. Your type, your tower Free
    Which type you’ve bought and in which tower, who will live there now and later, and which marked partition you’re unsure about.
  2. Plans now, the tape measure later RM200, waived if you go ahead with us
    Before handover we work from your sale plans. Once you hold the keys we measure each room, mark the removable partition on site and list what the handover brought.
  3. Who each room is for
    Rooms and fee are agreed in writing first. Then the plan itself: which partition goes, what the study becomes, where the heavy cooking happens and how the balcony is used.
  4. The same drawings for every contractor
    Each contractor prices identical drawings, so the quotes compare fairly. We read them alongside you, and the builder is your call.
  5. From the first trade to the first evening
    Deliveries and working hours agreed with the new management, trades sequenced, each stage held up against the drawings, and the rooms styled for your first evening at home.

A tower in its first year is still learning its routines: a new management office, rules freshly written, half a floor fitting out at once. We follow the forms, deposits and lift slots so your weekends stay your own. The full process

MBPJ, the management and the marked walls

MBPJ approved TRiARA’s building plan, reference MBPJ/120100/T/P10/266/2023 on the brochure’s fine print, and the renovation permit is your contractor’s application to MBPJ, made once the management has agreed your plans in writing. That agreement matters most when a marked partition is coming out, since the developer’s allowance carries its own terms.

Put every defect in writing to Sime Darby Property before a contractor sets foot inside, within the defect period your sale agreement counts from vacant possession. TRiARA has no management body yet, so its deposit, hours and delivery rules don’t exist; we ask for them at handover, before anyone prices the work.

05Your home

Two TRiARA Residences homes, one layout, two different households

At TRiARA Residences the same three plans repeat floor after floor, so the household, not the plan, sets one home apart from the next.

We start with your mornings, your evenings and whoever comes to stay.

Picture two Type A homes, one above the other. In the lower one, bedroom 2 with its sliding-door bath might become a guest suite for parents who visit every month. In the upper one, the same room could be a student’s, with the desk the brochure made room for. One plan, two briefs, and both are right.

What TRiARA’s plans hand you

  • KeepDoors, bathsThe wider front door, the master bath with its turning circle, the storage at the entrance
  • AdaptWall, studyThe one hatched partition in each plan, and a study to open up or keep closed
  • AddBalcony, yardPlanting and a light on the balcony’s tap and socket; shelving and a drying rail in the yard

Read from Sime Darby Property’s published plans. Where your sale agreement differs, it wins, and the full handover list is still to come, so we go through yours on the first visit.

Renovation costs nearby, from other firms’ published projects

TRiARA isn’t finished, so nobody has renovated a home here yet. Other firms’ published projects in the Damansara townships around it give a sense of scale.

Two 1,200 sq ft three-bedrooms at D’Erica Residence in Damansara Perdana, close to a Type A in size, came to RM95,000–125,000, in about six weeks on site. A 600 sq ft home at Maisson Residence, here in Ara Damansara, came to RM68,000. The pooled median for the Damansara townships is RM112 per sq ft.

FAQ

What to settle before TRiARA is finished

How much does interior design cost at TRiARA Residences?

A Type A at TRiARA Residences has an estimated Sundays in Bed design fee of RM16,180–23,310; a Type B, RM19,745–26,875; a Type C, RM23,310–30,440, each agreed in writing before we begin. Renovation and furniture come on top: at Curated, roughly RM141k–260k for a Type A, RM152k–278k for a Type B and RM171k–313k for a Type C, and whatever arrives with the keys and stays brings those down.

When will TRiARA Residences be completed?

Sime Darby Property expects to complete TRiARA Residences in 2028, according to its October 2023 press release. Earlier material gave other dates, August 2026 in the first brochure and January 2028 in a 2025 leaflet, so plan around the date in your own sale agreement. We’d begin drawing about half a year before it.

Who is the developer of TRiARA Residences, and where is it?

Sime Darby Property (Ara Damansara) Sdn Bhd, the master developer of the Ara Damansara township, is building TRiARA Residences and calls it its final high-rise there with a residential title. The three blocks stand off Jalan PJU 1A/7 in Ara Damansara, Petaling Jaya, under MBPJ, with Lotus’s 0.1 km away and CITTA Mall 0.6 km by the brochure’s radius.

Which TRiARA walls can come out, and can two units be joined?

One partition per plan is marked as removable: beside the kitchen in Type A, between the study and the living room in Type B, and between the study and bedroom 3 in Type C. Sime Darby allows selected units to become one home of up to 6+1 rooms, on its own terms, so ask which pairs qualify before handover. Decide either before any joinery is drawn, and have the management’s written consent before work starts.

Does a TRiARA home suit an elderly parent?

It begins well. Every TRiARA plan widens the front door and the master bath’s door and draws a wheelchair’s turning circle inside that bath, and in Type C a junior master with a bathroom of its own sits by the entrance. Grab rails, a level shower and a low night light on the route to the bathroom finish the job; Ara Damansara Medical Centre is 0.9 km away by the brochure’s measure.

Can a TRiARA yard become the wet kitchen?

Often, yes. The developer marks every yard for laundry and kitchen use, so a second hob out there is a sensible plan. We check its ventilation, the floor trap and the power supply on site first, then keep the open kitchen for lighter cooking and serving.

What are the floor plans at TRiARA Residences?

Three layouts make up 438 of the 450 homes at TRiARA Residences. Type A is 1,216 sq ft with three bedrooms and two bathrooms (210 homes); Type B is 1,507 sq ft with three bedrooms, a study and three bathrooms (189 homes); Type C is 1,808 sq ft with four bedrooms, a study and a utility room (39 homes, in Tower B only).

What facilities does TRiARA Residences have?

More than twenty facilities sit on the Level 6 podium at TRiARA Residences. PropertyGuru’s list of 22 includes a gym, a badminton hall, a multipurpose hall and a barbecue area, the developer adds forest nooks, a co-working garden and an Aqua Pool Ramp, and the development is rated GreenRE Gold (Provisional).

Can I see photos of a TRiARA Residences home you’ve designed?

Not yet: TRiARA Residences is still under construction, so we haven’t designed a home here. Until the keys come, the show unit at Sime Darby’s Ara Damansara sales gallery is the nearest you can get to standing in your own rooms; its furniture is styling and not part of the sale.

What interior design services do you offer at TRiARA Residences?

At TRiARA Residences we design three- and four-bedroom condominium homes of 1,216 to 1,808 sq ft, usually from the sale plans before the keys, beginning with the one partition each plan allows to go. We draw the plans, compare contractors’ quotes with you and manage the works on site, and contractors do the building. We can also style the finished rooms, furnish them through our Procurement Concierge, or design a home outside Kuala Lumpur and Selangor by Virtual Design.
