The 3.2-Metre Ceiling at Arumaya Residence: What Difference Does It Make Day to Day?
By Berjaya Properties · Updated: 2026-10-23
Why ceiling height is more than a number
You are not buying square metres alone. You are buying a three-dimensional space in which you breathe, work and rest. Two units with the same floor area can feel very different when one has a 3.2-metre ceiling and the other 2.7.
A higher ceiling tends to make a room feel more open, lets natural light travel further in, and gives warm air room to rise away from where you live. The effect is strongest in the living room and master bedroom, where you spend most of your time at home.
How big is the volume difference for your unit?
Room volume is floor area times ceiling height. The table below works it out for three sample unit sizes. The figures are pure arithmetic and use unit sizes as an illustration.
| Type (area) | 3.2 m ceiling | 3.0 m ceiling | 2.7 m ceiling |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1BR (55 m²) | 176.0 m³ | 165.0 m³ | 148.5 m³ |
| 2BR (79 m²) | 252.8 m³ | 237.0 m³ | 213.3 m³ |
| 3BR (120 m²) | 384.0 m³ | 360.0 m³ | 324.0 m³ |
Volume = area × ceiling height. Sample unit areas: 1BR 55 m², 2BR 79 m², 3BR 120 m².
What changes in daily life?
In a 79 m² 2BR, a 3.2-metre ceiling adds about 39.5 m³ of space compared with a 2.7-metre ceiling. That is room for a longer pendant light that does not press on your head, a bookcase that soars, curtains that fall from ceiling to floor, and a home office that does not feel like a box.
Children playing, guests arriving and you yourself working from home will experience the space differently, even if you do not always notice. That feeling of ease works quietly in the background, day after day.
Judge the feeling yourself. Book a visit and see the ceiling height in an Arumaya unit first-hand.
Book a visitA taller room means a larger volume of air to cool, so air-conditioning capacity should be chosen with that in mind. Custom curtains or furniture that follow the ceiling height also tend to cost more, and changing a light in a high ceiling needs a longer ladder.
How to check ceiling height during a viewing
Bring a laser measure and measure from finished floor to finished ceiling, not to a dropped section (drop ceiling). Check the living room, bedrooms and other areas, because bathrooms and corridors often have lower ceilings for pipes and air ducts. Also ask for the ceiling height per unit type before you decide.
