Bu-Kai Design, based in Newberg, Oregon, is an innovative industrial design studio that represents the culmination of three generations of landscape and design expertise. The company traces its roots to the passion and knowledge of its founder's grandfather, Don Shuler, a horticulturist and landscape designer whose affinity for the outdoors set the stage for a family legacy in artistic pursuits. His children, including Gary who established Down to Earth Landscaping and Irrigation, carried forward this dedication to design and craftsmanship. Now, Bu-Kai is a collaboration between family members, including professional sculptor Anita, focusing on merging landscape architecture with custom fabrication.
Bu-Kai's team is equipped with over two decades of fabrication experience, CAD design, and landscape irrigation, positioning them as leaders in their field. Their work is characterized by the skillful integration of art, architecture, and engineering to create evocative, functional designs—ranging from intricate metalwork to unique water and fire features. They specialize in tailored projects for commercial, industrial, and residential clients, ensuring each environment is distinctive and purposefully crafted. The studio prides itself on its artistic flair and keen aesthetic sensibility, offering a full spectrum of services that celebrate the connection between the natural and constructed worlds. With a commitment to quality and a deep appreciation for hand-crafted techniques, Bu-Kai continues to push the boundaries of design while honoring its rich heritage.
