CBH Architects
Located in Summit, New Jersey, CBH Architects was founded in 2009 as Barnett Design Build, a home improvement construction company. In 2011, we began offering architectural services. By 2013, as our design projects increased, we hung up our tool belts to focus exclusively on residential architecture. With the addition of Sean Hilgeman and the promotion of Mike Cuttitta, we became CBH Architects in 2016.
