How We’ll Help You Build an Amazing, Modern Home

Whether you’re looking to remodel your home or build additional units on your property, our integrated design + permitting process, along with our expertise in navigating San Diego’s building codes, will help you build a home tailored to you and your family’s lifestyle.

Building a unique, modern space doesn’t need to feel like an uphill battle. Our decade of experience in designing residential and commercial properties in San Diego has resulted in a proprietary process that simplifies the home building and renovation process.

We provide architectural services for custom homes.  Ten Seventy Architecture specializes in modern + minimalist design but we have a portfolio demonstrating a wide variety of styles we've worked in from mid-century to craftsman + more.
