Story

Their journey as an architectural team commenced in 2008, marked by a significant milestone - winning two architectural design competitions to develop public schools in Colombia.  Through this experience, they gained first-hand insight into the transformative power of design in enhancing the lives of individuals and communities.

In 2010, a burning desire to delve deeper into ecological design led them to Australia. Over a decade, Angelica and Marco invested their time, talents and passion, gaining invaluable insights by working, studying, teaching and collaborating with renowned Australian firms and public institutions like SJB, Ethos Urban, Development Victoria and the University of Melbourne.

In 2020, following the resounding success of the Future Homes competition, Includesign formally transitioned into an architectural and urban design firm. 

Since our official inception, we’ve played a pivotal role in an array of projects, including Senior Living Housing, Medium Density Residential, Mixed-use Hotels and community-focused Precinct Plans in NSW and Victoria. Notably, in 2022, Includesign won the top prize in the Living Village design competition, focusing on social, affordable and market housing in South Australia.
