Sean + Margaret Canning are the owners of Ten Seventy Architecture. They first met while studying architecture at the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT), finding a shared interest in modern and minimalist architecture and design.

They both graduated with Bachelors of Architecture degrees. Sean relocated to Southern California while Margaret stayed to finish a Master's degree in Civil Engineering with a concentration in Construction Management, relocating to California the following year.

They are both LEED Accredited Professionals and have completed San Diego State University’s (SDSU) Certification in Project Management program. Sean has focussed his architecture career on design and construction, while Margaret learned the intricacies of the permitting process from 5 years of experience working for San Diego’s Development Services Department. Together, their complementary skillsets make for a one-stop architecture studio.
