Our ongoing collaboration with Ten Seventy Architecture has been exceptional. Sean brings a modern, refined sensibility to the architectural process — grounded in clarity, responsiveness, and a deep respect for craftsmanship. His ability to articulate design intent, adapt quickly, and maintain cohesion across disciplines creates an elevated working environment.
What sets Ten Seventy apart is their dedication to creating architecture that feels intentional at every scale — from the overarching concept to the smallest detail. Their team operates with a level of openness and precision that aligns seamlessly with bespoke, design-forward residential building.

Sean and his team are professional, responsive, and detail-oriented — this team makes complex projects look easy. Their plans are always accurate and well thought out, which saves time in the field and eliminates costly surprises. They communicate well with both clients and builders, and their knowledge of the San Diego permitting process is a huge advantage.

Sean met with me to review my home edition project and I found him exceptionally generous with his time and advice and clearly showed a ton of competence in his review of my complex project. I had a most positive experience and I'm happy to recommend them to anybody who is looking to do a new construction, home edition or Adu.

I have been interviewing potential architects to work with as I am trying to get into development. Sean was by far the most knowledgeable out of anyone that I have met as he has tons of experience and is an investor himself. Yes, he is more expensive than others, but if he can help you avoid any unforeseen costs, then it's well worth the additional expense. I will be using Sean in the future for drafts and to be able to help assess best land use for future real estate investments.

Ten Seventy Architecture was the architect for my wife and I's home in Mission Hills, CA. Sean went out of his way to provide a clear process from start to completion. Sean listened to our ideas and had even better ones for us to review and approve. I highly recommend this company for residential architecture.
