Barry Huntington, H2 Build founder

Barry Huntington

Architect. Builder. Problem Solver.

Barry has always been the kind of person who wants to know how things work—and, more importantly, how to make them better.

With a background in architecture and years of experience in design and construction, he brings both sides of the building process to H2 Build. He can look at a project through the eyes of a designer, but he also understands what it takes to actually build it (put the pieces together).  He fully understands the complex matrix of building and how to optimize the design intent by putting the pieces together thoughtfully.

That combination shapes everything H2 does.

He loves the challenge of taking an existing home, a complicated site, or a half-formed idea and figuring out what's possible. He's drawn to projects with character—homes that need thoughtful solutions rather than a cookie-cutter approach.

And he's happiest when he's building something.

When he's not working, you'll usually find him tinkering with a custom car, out on the salt fishing, or hitting the links with buddies for a round of golf. He also cherishes time with his wife and two adult kids chasing the next adventure.

For Barry building isn't simply a profession. It's how he's wired.
