Total Environment Building Systems is an architect-led real estate and design company headquartered in Bangalore, incorporated in 1996. Kamal Sagar, the founder and chairman, graduated from IIT Kharagpur in 1992 with a degree in architecture, and briefly worked with Omni Architects in Lexington, Kentucky, before returning to India. The company's connection to Pune predates its residential work there: as a young architect, Sagar was entrusted with the design and construction of Poonawalla Stud Farms at Hadapsar and Theur, Pune, where he developed his signature technique of exposed brick masonry, using steel spacers to bring out the character of individual bricks.
The company's core philosophy revolves around creating handcrafted homes that integrate with nature, focusing on people-centric design, craftsmanship, and the use of natural, timeless materials like exposed brick, natural stone, and rich wood. A defining innovation it introduced is the concept of a garden with every home, regardless of the floor, alongside individually customised, furnished homes. Across its history, Total Environment has delivered more than six million square feet to over 1,600 customers in Bangalore, Pune, Hyderabad, and Frisco, TX.
Uday Baug is not a recent discovery for Total Environment — it is the locality where the company made its first move into Pune residential development. Orange Blossom Special, the developer's first project in Pune, was located in Uday Baug, approximately 3 km from MG Road, in a wooded and serene setting. All living spaces opened into a private terrace garden through large French windows, and the project was built with the company's original material palette of Kota stone, Jaisalmer stone, and exposed brick, with abundant natural light. Orange Blossom Special dates to 2009 in the company's project chronology. That early commitment has since deepened into a multi-phase presence on the same land and street.
Total Environment Orange Blossom, now a ready-to-move society in Uday Baug, Ghorpadi, offers 3 BHK apartments and serves as evidence of what the developer has been able to build and hand over in this specific pocket of Pune. Resale pricing for units in that completed project starts at approximately Rs. 2.2 Crore for a 3 BHK apartment.
Songs From The Wood is an ongoing premium residential development by Total Environment, located at Uday Baug, off Solapur Road, Pune, offering exclusive 3 and 4 BHK homes designed with nature-integrated architecture and high-quality craftsmanship across a 1.7-acre land parcel. The project is a multi-phase undertaking on the same stretch of Bhagwan Tatyasaheb Kawade Road where the developer first built Orange Blossom Special.
The project offers luxury 3 BHK apartments and 3 and 4 BHK duplex homes with unique layouts, spacious interiors, and private garden features. Residences range from 1,445 sq ft to 2,511 sq ft of carpet area, with additional private garden spaces of 258 to 285 sq ft providing outdoor extensions to each home. The development comprises two premium towers, each rising G+24 floors, with 76 exclusive apartments, resulting in a low-density living experience.
The project, officially known as Total Environment Songs From The Wood Phase 4, is being developed by Total Environment Projects India Pvt. Ltd. and features 208 exclusive homes in this phase, with Phase 3 RERA-approved and Phase 4 RERA registration in process. Earlier phases carry RERA approval numbers P52100004898 and P52100046513.
The price of 3 BHK L20 homes with a carpet area of 1,445 sq ft starts at Rs. 4.89 Crore onwards. Residents of Songs From The Wood can access a range of amenities including a gym, power backup, round-the-clock security, and eco-friendly features like rainwater harvesting. The master plan designates areas for residential blocks, a clubhouse, and an experience home, with internal driveways and a proposed access road.
Uday Baug is a sub-locality of Ghorpadi and enjoys sound intra-city connectivity via Dobar Wadi Road, Canal Road, and Bhagwan Tatyasaheb Kawade Road, and is about a kilometre from NH-965, which provides inter-city connectivity to Saswad, Jejuri, and Nira. The address on Bhagwan Tatyasaheb Kawade Road that Total Environment established with Orange Blossom Special in 2009 sits at the intersection of these arterial routes.
Hadapsar is only 5 km from Uday Baug and is home to large enterprises such as Honeywell and Serum Institute of India, as well as SEZs including Magarpatta, SP Infocity, and Amanora Park Town. Kharadi is approximately 11 km away via Magarpatta Road and is known for IT parks and business parks such as EON Free Zone, World Trade Centre Zensar Park, and Commerzone. For a buyer seeking a home within practical reach of Pune's two largest IT corridors without living inside either, the Uday Baug address delivers that balance.
Songs From The Wood is located just 3.5 km from MG Road, off Solapur Road, and is close to Empress Gardens, RWITC Race Course, and Magarpatta City, and about 10 km from Pune airport. These are not incidental neighbours — Empress Gardens and the Race Course represent the kind of mature, low-density green surroundings that are consistent with how Total Environment selects sites elsewhere, such as its project adjacent to Jakkur Lake in Bangalore.
Several schools, including Adarsh High, St Patrick's, and Pune Municipal, are within 3 km of the locality, and Dr Mulay Super Speciality, City, and Chaitanya hospitals are within 2 km. Pardarshi's Complex, KPTC Mall, and Dolphin Mall are within 2 km and provide shopping access.
On the infrastructure horizon, the Pune Railway Station Metro Station on the Aqua Line between Vanaz and Ramwadi is expected to be approximately 5 km from Uday Baug, and the under-construction Pune Ring Road is expected to pass through the adjoining area of Wadachi Wadi, improving vehicular movement.
Total Environment prioritises green building features such as earth-sheltered designs and green roofs for natural insulation and energy efficiency, and uses locally sourced, natural materials and rainwater harvesting systems to reduce ecological footprint. In the context of Uday Baug, where the sub-locality retains older bungalows and tree cover that is rare for central Pune, this approach connects directly to existing site character rather than running against it.
Every space in a Songs From The Wood home opens out onto a landscaped garden, and large glass panels ensure visual access to the garden and bring in natural light. Carefully selected materials, including exposed brick masonry, natural stone floors, and rich wood furniture, ensure that the homes age in harmony with the surrounding landscape. This material consistency with the Uday Baug streetscape — where colonial-era bungalows and mature gardens remain a reference point — is a deliberate architectural position, not coincidence.
Songs From The Wood commands an average rate of approximately Rs. 13,100 per sq ft, compared to the Uday Baug locality average of Rs. 10,600 per sq ft — a premium that reflects both the brand's positioning and the low unit count of 76 residences across the towers, which keeps density and shared amenity load far below typical high-rise norms for the area.
