Behind Adam’s quiet demeanour is a creative and analytical mind. His rigorous analysis enables him and his teams to effectively assess complex sites and briefs. He has a bit of a formula for this - looking at the challenges and opportunities before overlaying design principles and contextual analysis to ensure that each project has a strong design story and relevance to its surrounding context.
Having been with Turner for over 10 years, he has experience working across a vast range of typologies, including high-density residential, mixed-use developments, workplace, aged care, and hospitality. His creative sway often sees him focusing on the early phases of projects, particularly site analysis, planning, concept development and DA documentation.
Adam’s enthusiasm is driven by the opportunities the future holds for the industry, particularly progression in areas such as digital and interactive architecture. This exploration into future ‘built stories’ drives his passion for developing the public realm and delivering exceptional projects.

Col James Student Accomm. Good Design Awards
“The architecture of the Col James Student Accommodation Building is no short of successful. The design responds to Redfern’s rich, urban conditions both past and present. Turner deserves high praise for their innovative composition of both internal and external living and communal spaces for students. They have expertly overcome many challenges including the considerable constraints of the project's complex, inner-city urban site.”

View some projects Adam Carabott has worked on
A new metropolitan centre that is planned around the Western Sydney Aerotropolis metro station. The masterplan is underpinned by a landscape-led and place-based approach to a new city.
Merrylands Court (now known as Mason & Main) will contribute to the revitalisation of the Town Centre, offering well-connected living, communal amenities and a dynamic, activated ground-plane.
The proposed redevelopment of Shelbourne Hotel will transform a landmark heritage building into an activated CBD mixed-use destination.
The new civic heart for the emerging suburb of Melrose Park. Currently an isolated industrial precinct, the urban renewal project will create a fully mixed-use community with retail, residential and commercial spaces.
Part of a wider masterplan for this strategic site, Lot 4 is a build to rent project, providing approximately 360 apartments with high-level amenities and services.
The two residential towers of Park One adopt a clear and legible design approach, with a strong connection to landscape and evocative curved forms.
A new state-of-the-art entertainment destination, featuring a world-class conference centre, Warami community centre and Pullman Penrith, Western Sydney's first five-star hotel.
Offering a bespoke new way of doing business that leaves behind the big box commercial and embraces the outdoor workplace and connection to nature.
A multi-phase redevelopment of existing Housing New South Wales and Council lands to deliver a new park-side masterplan. Featuring private and social housing units, a network of new streets, a 'village square' and a library.
A large masterplanned community that has taken an under-utilised waterfront site with a poor urban identity, and created a highly successful mixed-use precinct.
The masterplan represents the next stage of the Wentworth Point urban renewal program, providing a vibrant mixed use precinct on the riverside site.
Facilitating a dynamic and exciting new model and unique mix of uses that provide benefits for both residents and the broader community.
A vertical village that has been designed to facilitate social interaction and relationships in a thriving aged care community.
A vibrant commercial precinct in Macquarie Park, with the underlying objective of connecting people with place.
Holding the corner position adjacent to Redfern Station, Col James is part of the Pemulwuy precinct, offering accommodation for local, international, and First Nation students.
