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 spent time with me evaluating my home design. He used his experience with the permit and building process to get my home build started in the right direction.

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.
