Philosophy

In line with his core design

philosophy of natural exteriors for
all his buildings, to help them blend
with the natural landscape. He
believed that natural materials had
more character, brought the
building to life and aged gracefully
unlike artificial materials, which did
not change with time.

Outdoor in and Indoor Out

Our central philosophy was to merge the design with the
interior and exterior, bluring the boundaries of indoor and
outdoor. People like to be surrounded by nature with green
elements and now the concept of garden has been an integral
part of all our projects

Design close to Nature

All the projects of Total Environment find their external
appearance very near to the earth element.If you are able to
offer spaces with more green elements surrounding , people
would welcome those ideas

Green Architecture
ToTal environment is not adhered to Green Certification. They
believe in Producing intelligent design which are harmony with
nature . They focus on different sustainable aspectsevery
year.

you're looking for.

a gated community on 24
acres in Whitefield,
Bangalore. The project
comprises 73 villas and
332 apartments in 7
towers of 19 floors each .
Home sizes range from
2500 to 7648 sq.ft. The
two level villas are
designed to take
advantage of the natural
slope of the land and
appear to be single level
homes from the internal
cobbled roads, but are
actually spacious two-
level homes. Each of
these homes has a
green roof and home-
owners are growing
everything from banana
and papaya trees to
tomatoes, strawberries,
green chillies and
vegetables.. The large
apartments are designed
to feel just like the
homes on the ground,
each with it's own
garden, water body and
The Meadow Dance

Located just off the Outer

Ring Road in Hyderabad,
this thoughtfully designed
community is located
between pristine green
meadows and a sprawling
landscape.

These spacious, earth-

sheltered homes, spread
across two distinct levels,
are uniquely designed to
appear low and inviting
from the outside, while
being duplex homes on the
inside. Curved roofs with
landscaped earth
cover keep these homes
warm in winter and cool in
summer. Each home is
designed around a
courtyard, and blends
harmoniously with the
surrounding landscape.
Built almost entirely with
natural materials, these
homes offer an unparalleled
living experience that is both
inviting and peaceful. Large
French doors and
glass windows let an
abundance of natural
light into the living spaces,
throughout the year.
Furthermore, each home

24 personally
customised apartments
spread across 4 floors
and designed with the
concept of a courtyard
that can be viewed from
the homes and
passages.
