3. BRIEF PERSONAL INFORMATION Born in 1950 at Pune , India. Ar.Beri is a poet, painter, philosopher, and has interest in extensive travelling . Among various wonderful projects for his clients, he has also built a home for himself amidst nature, away from the city. Personal Love of nature, solitude, meditation, philosophy, yoga, photography, all arts, writing poetry, painting, films, gardening, farming, deep ecology - with a live experiment of creating a balanced ecosystem at his farm . Widely travelled to over 25 countries and to remote corners of India.

4. EDUCATION Ar.Shirish Beri graduated from School oF Architecture Ahmedabad , India in 1974.  Instead of pursuing higher studies in the U.S he opted for living and working in the mountains near Kolhapur (with his father and brother's architectural firm in Kolhapur) and established himself near Kolhapur. He felt that after studying architecture for 6 years, it was necessary to uncondition oneself and unlearn rather than spend two years learning for masters degree abroad.

5. WORK Ar. Shirish Beri's works, which tend to reflect his values and concerns in life have been bearing their distinct mark on modern Indian architecture since 1975. They strive to address his life concerns of man moving further away from nature, from his fellow human beings and from his own self. Through his work, Shirish Beri probes the multisensory and the immeasurable dimension of space while trying to evoke a reflective pause amidst todays clutter and background noise. He feels that issues of sustainability can be aptly addressed only through the right attitudes and goals. His designs try to achieve an inherent sense of unity and harmony with various natural and man-made elements and forces.

6. STYLE Ar.Shirish Beri's works, which tend to reflect his values and concerns in life have been bearing their distinct mark on modern Indian architecture since 1975. They strive to adress his life concerns of man moving further away from nature, from his fellow human beings and from his own self.

7. Philosophy The issues that I attempt to address through my work are - 1. An overall fragmentation resulting in a schizoid state of life

8. 2. Man moving further away from Nature 3. Man is being isolated and is missing the meaningful interaction with fellow human beings.

9. 4. Overcommercialization and deterioration of human values, information overload and overconsumption resulting from greed. 5. The blunting of our sensitivity – leading to a boring, predictable monotony or an imposed, gaudy ensemble.

10. 6. Too much dependence on technology and an overall loss of identity in a mass produced environment, with a sudden break in the traditional socio cultural continuam as well as the handcrafting skills of craftsmen. 7. Destruction of natural resources and disturbing of the ecological balance.

34. Andur Lake House: by Ar. Shirish Beri

35. Andur Lake House, built on a hillock overlooking the lake, was purposed as a rejuvenating natural retreat for himself away from a crowded and hectic city life. Glancing across the lake at the structure nestling amid the foliage, one could easily miss it. Its pre-coated green metal sheet sloped roof merges perfectly into the surrounding trees in terms of colour, angle of slope and scale, fanning out just like the branches.

39. ELEVATIONS

40. SECTIONS

41. The structure emerges as we approach it from the front, though its presence remains subordinate to that of the foliage surrounding it, almost growing on it. As the laterite pillars step up from the lake, intercepted by bushes, they seem to draw one into their embrace, culminating in the deep, cave like recesses of the verandah below and terrace above framed by an emphatic horizontal band which is the only dominating built feature in the entire scheme.

42. Similar drama unfolds on the other elevations as one moves radially around this hill-top house. The plan fans out in a semi-circle from its centre at the peak, the main walls being the radial arms that stretch outward, descending finally as intermittent pillars towards the lake below. The main rooms are arranged in between these walls, each one of them being resultantly endowed with a vista of the lake opening out at its wider end.

43. These enormous shaded spaces opening towards the lake draw in cool breezes which blow unhindered through the house. Ample natural light and ventilation thus taken care of obviates the need for a fan - let alone an air condiitoner - even in peak summer; in most spaces, thus resulting in a drastic reduction in energy consumption.

44. Almost bereft of any transverse walls and all the radial walls being well punctured, the house enjoys an unhindered flow of spaces internally. The upper storey spaces like the stair landing and bridge afford views of the lower floor spaces, creating the vertical visual connect as well. This fits in well with the architect’s belief in the need, not only to constantly connect with the place one is in, but also to stay connect with the people around oneself.

45. The interiors at Andur Lake House are simple, basic and, like the rest of the house, non-invasive of the natural setting. Just as the walls of this load bearing structure, the seating in the living and dining areas is of built-in masonry of laterite stone sourced at the site, spontaneously adding to the sustainable quotient as does the cow-dung and mud flooring. Other than this, there is hardly any furniture as carpets and cushions serve just as well.

46. At Andur Lake House it seems impossible to track exactly where the outdoors flow indoors or vice versa as the integration between the two is constant, dynamic and seamless. The house is so rooted to the ground it stands on with every brick and stone used in its building that it’s almost as if an ancient ruin or cave in the undergrowth had suddenly been turned into an exciting , breezy and comfortable home.

47. MATERIALS Insulated sheet metal roofing on steel framework Masonry structure made of laterite blocks Floors made of cow dung and mud (ground floor) and wood (first floor)

48. SHIRISH BERI

49. What inspires you other than nature? I am inspired by any genuine, creative expression in any art form. I also feel inspired by the lives of people who are contented and happy even with very few material possessions; by people who delve deep inside themselves to realize their fullness and oneness with this life energy; by people who live to make others happy – humans as well as other living creatures.  See more at: https://www.zingyhomes.com/thought-leaders/architect-shirish-beri-projects-works-interview/

50. Your advice for architecture students opting to spend two years abroad for masters degree After graduration , each of them needs to spend some quiet time – a few days alone by himself/herself, to find out what their true potential,their true aspirations are. They should not just go abroad for post graduation just because that is the trend. If what they aspire for matches with what they will achieve abroad, they must go. Once there, they must be open to absorb, adsorb all that they experience there in order to make their repertoire a rich, fertile ground for their designs to mature and fruition. They must remain alert and aware to avoid excessive conditioning.  See more at: https://www.zingyhomes.com/thought-leaders/architect-shirish-beri-projects-works-interview /
