Total Environment Pursuit of a Radical Rhapsody biophilic earth-sheltered homes on ITPL Main Road, Whitefield

On ITPL Main Road in Whitefield, Total Environment — Rhapsody — officially Pursuit of a Radical Rhapsody — is one of Bengaluru’s most distinctive luxury addresses: a biophilic masterpiece set across roughly 37 acres with an extraordinary 85% of the campus kept as open green. For buyers searching for nature-integrated, deeply crafted homes in the heart of the tech corridor, it offers something the market rarely does — a garden on every terrace and a home that can be customised to its owner.

This guide covers everything that matters before an enquiry: the configurations and indicative pricing, the biophilic amenities and lifestyle, the location and connectivity advantages of Whitefield, and why this green-led address continues to attract HNIs, NRIs and design-conscious technology professionals.

An Overview of Total Environment — Rhapsody

Developed by Total Environment, Pursuit of a Radical Rhapsody reimagines urban luxury through nature-integrated design across approximately 37 acres on ITPL Main Road. The development offers 2, 3 and 4 BHK apartments, opulent 5 BHK penthouses and just 17 rare 4 BHK earth-sheltered villas, with saleable areas spanning roughly 2,753 sq ft to over 8,000 sq ft. With 85% of the campus given to greenery, it is among the greenest branded communities in the city.

Hallmarks include handcrafted wire-cut brick facades, open-to-sky private gardens with every home, lake-facing decks and natural-insulation earth-sheltered rooftops. Total Environment’s acclaimed eDesign platform lets buyers customise interiors to a degree unmatched in the market. You can view the full specification on the Total Environment — Rhapsody page.

Under construction and delivered in phases, Rhapsody is the work of a developer renowned for craftsmanship over speed — a reputation built on handcrafted detailing, green roofs and a design-first philosophy. For buyers, that means purchasing into a maker known for finishing what few others attempt: a garden on every terrace, even as high as the 27th floor.

The earth-sheltered villas are the project’s rarest expression. By tucking living spaces beneath natural-insulation green roofs, they stay cooler and quieter than conventional homes while dissolving the boundary between architecture and landscape. With only 17 in existence, they sit at the apex of the Rhapsody offering — a category of home that simply does not exist elsewhere in Bengaluru, and one that rewards buyers who prize originality and sustainability over convention.

Location & Connectivity — Whitefield, East Bangalore

Whitefield is Bengaluru’s original IT powerhouse, and Rhapsody sits within its growth belt on ITPL Main Road near Hoodi. With Manipal Hospital roughly three minutes away and Forum Shantiniketan Mall about five, daily essentials, healthcare and retail are effectively at the doorstep — a rare convenience for a green, low-density community.

The wider micro-market is anchored by deep employment infrastructure — ITPL, EPIP Zone and the surrounding campuses of multinationals such as IBM, Accenture, SAP and Wipro — alongside leading schools and hospitals. The arrival of the Namma Metro Purple Line to Whitefield has further improved access across the city’s eastern corridor.

The Whitefield Growth Story

Two decades ago, Whitefield was a peripheral suburb anchored by a single tech park. Today it is one of Bengaluru’s most established and sought-after corridors. The shift has been driven by relentless employment density and infrastructure: the expansion of ITPL and EPIP, road widening, and the long-awaited Purple Line metro. Apartment values that once averaged ₹6,000–₹7,000 per sq ft have moved firmly into the ₹9,500–₹12,500 range, with premium and branded pockets commanding more.

For a buyer, the relevance is simple — Whitefield combines a deep, durable tenant base with steady price appreciation, and the corridor is expected to see further upside as infrastructure deepens. Within that market, a green, design-led address like Rhapsody is genuinely differentiated, appealing to buyers who want more than a standard high-rise.

Configurations, Sizes & Indicative Pricing

Rhapsody offers an unusually broad spread of homes, from efficient 2 BHK apartments to mansion-scale penthouses and a tiny collection of earth-sheltered villas, with saleable areas spanning roughly 2,753 sq ft to over 8,000 sq ft. Every home comes with an open-to-sky private garden, and the eDesign platform lets buyers shape interiors to their own brief.

Indicative guide prices span roughly ₹5.76 Crore to ₹17.5 Crore — with 3 BHK homes from around ₹5.76 Crore, the rare 4 BHK earth-sheltered villas around ₹15.2 Crore, and 5 BHK penthouses reaching approximately ₹17.5 Crore. Because the earth-sheltered villas in particular are limited to just 17 homes, availability is scarce; current pricing is shared on enquiry. Request a private viewing here.

For context, residential pricing across Whitefield has risen substantially over recent years, and design-led, low-density inventory typically commands a premium per square foot over standard apartments. At Rhapsody, that premium reflects three things: the rarity of biophilic, earth-sheltered homes anywhere in Bengaluru, Total Environment’s craftsmanship reputation, and the customisation that the eDesign platform makes possible.

Amenities & Lifestyle

Beyond the homes themselves, Rhapsody is built around nature and craft. The 85%-green campus, lake-facing decks and private gardens shape a lifestyle that is calm, cultured and deeply connected to the outdoors.

Why Total Environment — Rhapsody Is a Standout Investment

Whitefield’s appeal is structural, not speculative. A deep base of multinational employers, top schools and hospitals, metro connectivity and steady appreciation combine to support long-term value. For a community that pairs that location with genuine scarcity — only 17 earth-sheltered villas and a design language few developers can replicate — the differentiation is the investment case.

It is equally a lifestyle asset: a primary home where a private garden, lake-facing deck and 85%-green campus are part of daily life, and where customisation via eDesign means the home reflects its owner rather than a standard template.

Living at Total Environment — Rhapsody

Day-to-day life here is shaped by greenery and craft. Mornings can begin in a private open-to-sky garden or with a swim in the heated pool; afternoons move between the reading room, the music room and the café; evenings settle onto a lake-facing deck. With 85% of the campus kept open and natural insulation built into the earth-sheltered rooftops, the community feels cooler, quieter and greener than a conventional high-rise.

For families, the address offers a rare combination — calm, green, low-density living with Manipal Hospital, Forum Shantiniketan and leading schools minutes away.
