The Magic Faraway Tree // The Total Environment Difference 02

THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT DIFFERENCE


At Total Environment, we create customised homes that enhance the quality of life for people who live in them. Harmony with nature, the highest aesthetic standards, use of the latest construction techniques and processes and complete transparency are hallmarks of the Total Environment experience. Promoted by architects and managed by a group of professionals, we serve a pool of global citizens who share our philosophy.

NATURAL MATERIALS We focus on creating spaces that harmonise with their surroundings, this influences our choice of natural construction materials. Besides being maintenance free, these materials age beautifully. QUALITY FOCUS Its not just in the sourcing of the best, its also in how we labour over all aspects of our work - from design to workmanship, that sets us apart. BRINGING THE OUTDOORS IN A first of its kind in residential real estate worldwide, in 1996 we introduced the concept of cantilevered terrace gardens with every apartment. Since then this has become an integral part of all our projects. Our gardens have grown larger and now include features like water bodies and a wooden deck - bringing the outdoors in, and taking the indoors out. Our projects are noted for their creeper covered pergolas and landscaping. TRANSPARENCY & ETHICS We keep a stream of communication with our clients, that is honest and timely, building bonds as we build homes.

CUSTOMISATION Our homeowners are encouraged to co-create their homes to match their distinct tastes and lifestyle. Ebuild is our proprietary online tool that helps customise almost every aspect of your home. OPTIMUM USE OF SPACE The carpet area in every project that we do is 80% of the superbuilt area, an example of our commitment to transparency and uniform standards. So, when you purchase a 1000 sft apartment, you are assured of a carpet area of 800 sft. Our terrace gardens, being part of the built area, are included in the carpet area. HITECH CONSTRUCTION TEAMS Our no shortcuts, no compromises approach translates to quality, long life and efficiency. INHOUSE CONSTRUCTION TEAMS We do not subcontract our work. Doing everything, in-house from start to handover and after gives us control over quality.

The Magic Faraway Tree // Details that make the Difference 07

DETAILS THAT MAKE THE DIFFERENCE

01 The 90 cm ductable electric chimney with anodized aluminium filters is perfect for Indian kitchens. It absorbs fumes and keeps the kitchen odour-free.

02 The four-burner cooking hob features electric ignition for convenience. Backing panels in stainless steel make it easy to clean.

03 Unobtrusive yet highly functional, the garbage receptacle in the kitchen forms a part of the cabinetry. It swivels out with its lid open when you open the cabinet door and shuts and slides back in after use.

04 Sleek cutlery drawers in non-corrosive alloys form part of the modular kitchen unit. Practical partitions add to their usefulness.

09 Stainless steel Imax hinges keep windows and ventilators locked in position when opened. They provide extra flexibility for easier cleaning of window shutters.

10 The false ceiling provides easy accessibility for servicing. They enhance the visual appeal of bathrooms and keep service ducts concealed.

11 An aluminium u-channel is provided between the skirting and the plastering of the wall for a better finish.

12 A GI mesh is embedded along corners of walls while plastering. This prevents chipping of edges and goes a long way in keeping the walls in great shape.

05 Footlights provided at convenient locations in rooms and passages show you the way at night.

06 All door handles are in smooth brush finished stainless steel. In addition to being beautiful, these accessories are a pleasure to use.

07 Telescopic channels enable easier access to recessed regions of drawer units. This contributes to better use of storage spaces.

08 Drawers glide on new-generation drawer channels; an example of technology enhancing simple everyday functions.

13 The use of PVC drainage cells enables hassle-free and efficient drainage.

14 All windows in locations that overlook a sheer drop are provided with steel grills for added safety.

15 The pop-up sprinkler system features a 3600 spray nozzle. The throw of water can be preset to desired levels in these sprinklers.

16 A drip irrigation system, together with sprinklers, keeps the garden lush and green.
