Seed Architecture is a Columbia, South Carolina-based architecture and planning firm that emphasizes relationship-based design. Founded in 2015 by John K. Powell, AIA, NCARB, LEED AP, the practice handles both residential and commercial projects for growth-oriented clients. It seeks to understand a client's mission, goals, and dreams to guide both the programmatic and technical aspects of a project while aligning design with broader aspirations. It centers its work on the people behind projects, including the families, business owners, and staff, prioritizing the human context in its design approach. As a small, client-focused practice within the architecture and planning sector, Seed Architecture maintains a diverse project mix rooted in its Columbia base. In August 2023, the firm hired designer Anna Marie Barfield.
