Total Environment is an architect-led developer with a varied projects portfolio both in India & abroad. They are widely known for their design, attention to detail, and quality of construction. Projects I was involved with are:1. Pursuit of a Radical Rhapsody: Large-scale residential development in Bangalore with varied typologies of high-rise apartments & earth-sheltered villas flanking a large green space. 2. A Saucerful of Secrets:Pet-friendly resort situated nestled within a valley in Ooty. With its one-of-a-kind design, the accommodations are scattered across the valley and are tucked into the earth. The central building, which doubles as the main building comprising hospitality and administrative spaces resembles a saucer floating gently above the ground. 3. Time: An early project, the materials and detailing used here have set the design language for the large-scale projects that were to come. As with any building, some of its components required refurbishment. 4. Think Design:An annual event by Total Environment to showcase their designs, projects, and capability lines. We had a very interesting exhibition area, parametric in design, and shaped like a flat spiral covered in green, providing a very indulgent kinesthetic experience. This event brought prospective homeowners to interact directly with the architects including myself. To list down a few, the aspects I was involved with are:1. Design development,2. Design details3. MEP coordination4. Liaison coordination5. Preliminary budgeting & costing exercise6. Preparing GFC and GFI drawings, 7. Site monitoring to control the output. 8. Coordination with sales and marketing teams 9. Explaining design and construction details to a few prospective homeowners. Show less

The design objective was to provide high thermal comfort without the use of any active cooling systems. Both traditional wisdom and innovation were employed for this purpose, and the materials sourced from a very old building were combined with contemporary materials through ingenious detailing. The resultant visual expression was neo-traditional.Aspects handled:• Conceptualisation of design and preparation of working drawings, GFCs, and bill of quantities• Site supervision and coordination with material contractors• Innovative details: A pitched roof was designed using a sleek steel truss, SCIP panels, and hundred-year-old country tiles. Also, a high-thermal performance double-leaf brick wall was devised that could be comfortably erected by local laborProject 2: Urban design for HMR (Hyderabad Metro Rail)A project commissioned by the Government of Telangana to improve the existing road network, and to create public facilities for vehicular and pedestrian traffic, street vendors, etc. Aspects involved in:• Survey of existing infrastructure and local conditions• Discussions with government officials • Interviews of the public, street vendors, and other users • Conceptualisation and preliminary design Interior Design: 1.
