Adam is a registered Architect whose career spans more than 30 years across architecture, property development and design leadership. Having spent 13 years with Cottee Parker before joining one of Brisbane's leading developers as a Senior Development Manager for five years, Adam returned to the practice six years ago with a unique perspective that bridges both client and consultant.

This combination of experience enables Adam to understand projects from every angle—balancing design excellence, commercial outcomes, feasibility and delivery. Throughout his career he has worked closely with clients, consultants, government authorities and marketing teams to guide complex multi-residential developments from early site acquisition and feasibility through to design, approvals and construction.

As a Director, Adam continues to play a key leadership role within Cottee Parker's Design Unit, fostering a collaborative design culture through mentoring, peer review and the ongoing development of the practice's design capability. His ability to quickly test design opportunities and respond to commercial realities makes him a trusted adviser during the earliest stages of project planning, helping clients make informed decisions with confidence.

Adam has extensive experience navigating complex, multi-staged developments and has worked closely with Brisbane City Council, Economic Development Queensland (EDQ) and a broad range of stakeholders to deliver high-quality outcomes within budget and programme. His background on both sides of the industry gives him a deep understanding of how construction methodology, planning requirements, material selection and design decisions influence project feasibility and long-term value.

Known for his collaborative approach and commercial insight, Adam builds lasting relationships with clients by delivering practical, design-led solutions that create enduring value for their developments.
