Total Environment Building Systems has operated out of Bangalore since its incorporation in 1996. TEBSPL is a real estate developer operating in Bengaluru, founded by architect, designer, and real estate developer Kamal Sagar, who is the founder and chairman of Total Environment Building Systems. Kamal graduated from IIT Kharagpur in 1992 with a degree in architecture and, after a stint with Omni Architects in Lexington, Kentucky, returned to India. In 1996, searching for a one-bedroom apartment, he recognized the poor state of large-scale housing and, after failed attempts to convince other developers to accept his design ideas, founded Total Environment to build out his own designs.
The firm's footprint has grown steadily across Bangalore, Pune, Hyderabad, and Frisco, Texas. The group has been operating for around three decades and is an established brand in the premium segment of the Bengaluru residential real estate market, having executed about 59 projects encompassing a saleable area of about 4.54 million square feet, with another 12 million square feet of projects under development in Bengaluru. Across its city-wide portfolio — including After the Rain in Yelahanka, Down by the Water adjacent to Jakkur Lake in North Bangalore, In That Quiet Earth off Hennur Main Road, and Tangled up in Green on Doddaballapur Main Road — the developer has consistently anchored projects to a natural feature: a lake, a hillside, or an expanse of native trees. Whitefield is no exception.
Kamal Sagar's work has focused on using natural materials to create warm living spaces through handcrafted homes that embrace nature, and his idea of providing a garden with every home has defined the product offerings of Total Environment. This is not a marketing position; it is an engineering constraint built into each project. Total Environment has leveraged technology to deliver custom-designed homes at scale through their proprietary platform "eDesign," which offers homebuyers options to customise floor plans, furniture layouts, feature enhancements, and functional planning in an online, 3D format.
Total Environment's presence in Whitefield is concentrated in a single, large-format community: Located in Whitefield, the heart of India's Silicon Valley, Pursuit of a Radical Rhapsody is an exclusive community of apartments, beautiful homes with green roofs, and a central community park. The project sits at the edge of a small lake and includes the developer's signature earth-sheltered homes with four bedrooms, the popular C20 layout, the unique lake-facing L30 three-bedroom apartments, and the special L45 four-bedroom apartments that step back from the lake with open-to-sky gardens.
Sprawled across 37 acres, the project presents a thoughtfully curated mix of 2, 3, and 4 BHK apartments, 5 BHK penthouses, and 4 BHK earth-sheltered villas. Pursuit of a Radical Rhapsody was built with an innovative idea in mind: a garden on every terrace, even as high as on the 27th floor.
The project's address is precise: ITPL Main Road, Basavanna Nagar, Whitefield, Bengaluru, Karnataka 560048, with close proximity to Hoodi, Whitefield, ITPL, the Outer Ring Road, and KR Puram. It is a premier lakefront property, with Total Environment maintaining Hoodi Lake as part of the development.
The community carries multiple RERA registrations reflecting its phased delivery. The RERA registration numbers are PRM/KA/RERA/1251/446/PR/171014/000433, PRM/KA/RERA/1251/446/PR/190102/002271, PRM/KA/RERA/1251/446/PR/220922/005261, and PRM/KA/RERA/1251/446/PR/281222/005565.
Total Environment's approach to Whitefield draws directly from the firm's signature construction methods. Each home is built with the brand's signature wire-cut brick facades, floor-to-ceiling windows, and linear layouts that ensure maximum natural light and ventilation. The community's standout features include 85% green open spaces, earth-sheltered rooftops, handcrafted wire-cut brick exteriors, and expansive private gardens.
In Total Environment's in-house Machine Craft facility, natural materials are used for the construction of woodwork, metalwork, flooring, and landscaping — a vertically integrated model that gives the company direct control over materials quality and finish, uncommon among Bangalore developers at this scale.
The unit mix at Pursuit of a Radical Rhapsody reflects the complexity of the project. Floor plan configurations include the C20 at 2,753 sq ft (3-bedroom), the L30 at 4,389 sq ft (3-bedroom lake-facing), the L45 at 5,683 sq ft (4-bedroom), the R25 at 3,434 sq ft (3-bedroom with family room), and the D35 duplex at 3,676 sq ft with a 546 sq ft garden. The Radical Rhapsody Villas comprise a collection of 17 exclusive homes, each with a spacious 4-bedroom layout of 4,485 sq ft and a private garden up to 2,000 sq ft.
Amenities span two clubhouses and a lakeside boardwalk. Facilities include a swimming pool, billiards, table tennis, a heated pool, a lakeside boardwalk, a multipurpose hall, a toddlers' pool, a gymnasium, a library, squash courts, central greens, an amphitheatre, a kids' play area, a 4m wide boardwalk, a tree museum, badminton, tennis, basketball, two clubhouses, a gym, an outdoor pool, a pool cafe, guest suites, and a steam room and sauna.
Total Environment's first recorded project in Whitefield dates to 1999. The Ion Idea Corporate Campus in Whitefield was completed in 1999, establishing the firm's connection to this corridor well before it became Bangalore's most tracked residential market.
The establishment of the International Tech Park Bangalore (ITPB), one of the city's first major tech parks, marked a turning point; global IT companies began setting up offices there, creating new employment opportunities and sparking interest in residential projects nearby. The EPIP Zone — which houses Total Environment's own registered office at No. 78, ITPL Main Road — sits directly within this employment belt, making the proximity of Pursuit of a Radical Rhapsody to its own residents' workplaces a material, not notional, fact.
The Namma Metro Purple Line has structurally changed the calculus for Whitefield buyers. The launch of the Purple Line has transformed how Bengaluru travels, with the Whitefield (Kadugodi) station now standing as the eastern terminal of the Purple Line, bringing metro connectivity to one of the city's busiest IT and residential zones. The line passes through major activity centres and business districts including Whitefield, ITPL, Krishnarajapura, MG Road, Vidhana Soudha, Majestic, Vijayanagar, Rajarajeshwari Nagar, and Kengeri. For residents of Pursuit of a Radical Rhapsody on ITPL Main Road, the nearest stations on this corridor — Pattandur Agrahara (ITPL) and Hopefarm Channasandra — are within a short drive. The upcoming Blue Line of Namma Metro will connect KR Puram to Kempegowda International Airport, offering direct metro connectivity to the airport.
Social infrastructure within a 2 km radius of the project is dense. Major malls including Ascendas Park Square, Inorbit Mall, and Forum Value Mall, along with hotels such as Taj Vivanta, Zuri, and Marriott Whitefield, are located within a 2 km radius of the project. Nearby conveniences include Forum Shantiniketan Mall, Manipal Hospital, and Gopalan International School.
Property values in Whitefield have moved in one direction for over a decade. Flat rates in Whitefield changed by 17.6% in the last year, 88.6% in the last three years, 123% in the last five years, and 219.3% in the last ten years. Flat prices in Whitefield now range from Rs 12,450 to Rs 18,050 per sq ft. The premium end of the market — where Total Environment operates — commands a measurable premium above the locality average, given the scale, lakefront position, and the depth of customisation baked into each home.
As the number of tech and IT companies like Google and Infosys around Whitefield and East Bangalore has grown, so has high-income employment, leading to stronger purchasing power. This cohort — senior technology professionals and dual-income households who have spent years commuting to ITPB and EPIP Zone — constitutes the natural buyer pool for a product like Pursuit of a Radical Rhapsody, where 3 BHK homes begin upwards of 2,400 sq ft and every layout includes a private outdoor space.
Growing interest in environmentally friendly projects is an emerging trend shaping the Whitefield market. Total Environment has held this design position since 1996, long before sustainability became a standard sales point in Bangalore real estate. For buyers who want the commitment to be structural — expressed in the building material, the orientation of the floor plan, and the maintenance model — rather than certificatory, that track record carries weight.
