Total Environment Building Systems is an Indian architect-led real estate and design company, headquartered in Bangalore, formed in 1996. Its founder, Kamal Sagar, is an architect who graduated from IIT Kharagpur in 1992 and chairs both Total Environment Building Systems and Total Environment Hospitality. In 1996, dissatisfied with the state of large-scale housing projects in Bangalore, he decided to develop and construct his own designs, founding Total Environment to build them out. The firm's entry into Rajendra Nagar, Hyderabad is not a departure from its origins — it is a direct extension of the same design thinking that defined its early Bangalore work.
Total Environment has delivered more than 6 million square feet to over 1,600 customers across projects in Bangalore, Pune, Hyderabad, and Frisco, TX. The company introduced the concept of a private garden with every home regardless of which floor it occupies, and individually customised, furnished homes. These two ideas — gardens at every level and buyer-customised interiors — underpin every project the firm has built, including its Rajendra Nagar villa community.
The Meadow Dance is a residential project by Total Environment Building Systems offering villa homes in Rajendra Nagar, Hyderabad. The project was large enough to warrant two phases. Phase I, on the west side of the property, comprises 56 villas with plot sizes ranging from 509 sq. yards (4,580 sq. ft.) to 581 sq. yards (5,229 sq. ft.). Phase II, on the east side, contains 62 villas with sizes ranging from 320 sq. yards (3,209 sq. ft.) to 376 sq. yards (3,676 sq. ft.), with amenities including a swimming pool, tennis court, children's play area, and a fully equipped clubhouse.
The Meadow Dance Phase II is constructed over an area of 19.47 acres. Located just off the Outer Ring Road in Hyderabad, the community sits between green meadows and a sprawling landscape. The spacious, earth-sheltered homes spread across two levels are designed to appear low and inviting from outside while functioning as duplexes inside. Curved roofs with landscaped earth cover moderate interior temperatures, and each home is designed around a courtyard that blends with the surrounding landscape.
Built almost entirely with natural materials, these homes are designed to be inviting and peaceful, with large French doors and glass windows admitting natural light throughout the year. This construction approach — exposed masonry, natural stone, handcrafted elements — is a signature Total Environment practice, with carefully selected materials such as exposed brick masonry, natural stone floors, and rich wood furniture intended to allow homes to age beautifully and harmonise with their surroundings.
Total Environment The Meadow Dance Phase II offers 3 BHK villas, with sizes ranging from 3,250 sq. ft. to 5,850 sq. ft. Each villa is designed with specifications that include master bedroom walls finished with acrylic emulsion, offering ample space for residents to live, relax, and entertain.
The amenity set at Phase II reflects Total Environment's broader philosophy of community infrastructure alongside the private home. Amenities include a clubhouse, swimming pool, jogging and cycle track, kids' play areas, indoor games, mini theatre, private pool, reading room and library, gazebo, guest house, hypermarket, massage room, serviced apartments, rainwater harvesting, storm water drains, sewage treatment plant, energy management systems, 24x7 power backup, 24x7 security, CCTV and video surveillance, and fire-fighting systems.
The project is registered on RERA with ID P02400001061.
Rajendra Nagar is a fast-growing residential and commercial locality positioned along the PV Narasimha Rao Expressway and Nehru Outer Ring Road, providing connectivity to Rajiv Gandhi International Airport and IT hubs like HITEC City and Gachibowli. The combination of expressway access and proximity to employment makes it one of the few southern Hyderabad localities that works simultaneously for end-users employed in the technology sector and for buyers seeking lower density residential living.
The locality's proximity to the Financial District (16 km), Gachibowli (19 km), and HITEC City (20 km) makes it an attractive residential area for professionals. Rajiv Gandhi International Airport is just 15 km away, and Rajendra Nagar is connected by the Budvel and NPA Shivram Pally railway stations, which are within a 10–15 minute drive.
Two infrastructure investments are reshaping the area's medium-term outlook. The Hyderabad Airport Express Metro line is being developed in the area, running from Raidurg metro station to the international airport, with a station planned at Rajendra Nagar. A 350-acre IT park is also being developed between Budvel and Kismatpur, which would materially reduce the effective commute distance for residents of a villa community like The Meadow Dance Phase II.
The government has also allotted 100 acres in the area for the new Telangana High Court, a ₹2,600-crore project that will include the main court building and residential quarters for judges. Institutional anchors of this kind historically support land value stability in a locality.
As of mid-2025, apartment rates in Rajendra Nagar range between ₹6,200 and ₹9,500 per sq. ft., with projects by major developers sometimes exceeding ₹10,500 per sq. ft. Villas inside gated communities like The Meadow Dance Phase II are priced between ₹2.5 crore and ₹8 crore, depending on size and location.
Over the past three years, Rajendra Nagar has seen average price growth of about 28%. Demand for homes in the area is rising, with values having increased roughly 15% over the last three years according to local tracking data. Total Environment's villa product, with unit sizes starting above 3,200 sq. ft. and an earth-sheltered construction method unlike any competing project in the vicinity, occupies the upper tier of this market by design rather than by price positioning alone.
Rajendra Nagar houses government institutions including the National Institute of Rural Development and Panchayati Raj (NIRD), National Academy of Agricultural Research Management (NAARM), and the National Fisheries Development Board. It is also home to PJTSAU and is close to several other schools and colleges, making it a practical choice for families with children. Multi-specialty hospitals are located in nearby Attapur, Mehdipatnam, and Budvel.
Schools, hospitals, malls and shopping complexes are within a 15–20 minute drive. For a Total Environment villa buyer — typically someone choosing a low-density, nature-integrated home over a high-rise apartment — this balance of accessible services without urban density is central to the product's appeal in this specific locality.
The Meadow Dance and its Phase II expansion represent Total Environment Building Systems' primary residential footprint in Hyderabad. The developer's Bangalore portfolio, which spans projects in Whitefield, Yelahanka, Jakkur, Kanakapura Road, and Doddaballapur Main Road, demonstrates consistent preference for locations on the periphery of major tech corridors — where larger land parcels allow the low-rise, landscape-integrated formats that define the firm's architecture. Pursuit of a Radical Rhapsody in Whitefield, for instance, is an exclusive community of apartments, villa homes with green roofs, and a central community park — a template that maps directly onto what the developer has delivered in Rajendra Nagar.
Sustainability is at the heart of Total Environment's design philosophy. The firm implements green building techniques including energy-efficient lighting, water recycling systems, and solar power integration, with projects designed to minimise environmental impact while maximising comfort and efficiency. At Phase II in Rajendra Nagar, these systems — rainwater harvesting, storm water drains, sewage treatment, and energy management — are built into the project specification rather than added as features.
