About:
Studio Suna is the design and build practice of Craig Barker. Projects range from garden design and horticulture to landscape and planting plans, bespoke furniture to custom fixtures and outdoor structures. Working with both domestic and commercial clients, everything we do is designed and hand finished in our studio & workshop in the Colne Valley, West Yorkshire.
After studying for a Masters Degree at the Slade School of Fine Art, Craig moved from London to Yorkshire to study horticulture. Working for several years across different public and private historic gardens, developing his horticultural knowledge before joining a garden design and build practice in 2019. Whilst there, he honed his skills in garden design and construction while leading on a variety of projects.
Studio Suna was founded in 2022 as a way of combining his extensive horticultural knowledge with his sculpturally driven and detail focussed art practice, making every Studio Suna project unique.
Design:
We take a holistic approach towards design, all our work is bespoke and based around the client, the environment they inhabit and their needs. Crafting practical and imaginative spaces with a focus on sustainability and longevity. It is important that our gardens and landscapes reflect our clients tastes, balancing creative solutions with exciting details and sustainable materials. A garden should be enjoyed all year round. We study the annual weather conditions, native soil and aspect of your space, specifically selecting plants that naturally thrive and have something to offer you through all four seasons.
We want our designs to be exciting and visually stimulating. Whether designing objects, furniture or gardens, we try to balance a minimalist sensibility with clear functionality, ensuring each project still retains its own individual character. We combine traditional techniques with a modern boldness and focus our attention on natural materials to create something that is practical, beautiful and made to last.
