Award-winning sustainable design: MONACO and Pretty Plastic

Discover how MONACO, a groundbreaking project by MVRDV for Rock Capital Group, has earned the prestigious German Design Award 2025 for "Excellent Architecture – Conceptual Architecture". Featuring Pretty Plastic shingles made entirely from recycled PVC waste, MONACO showcases the potential of circular design in modern architecture.

This six-storey Munich landmark blends work and play with a façade of warm, recycled bricks and vibrant Pretty Plastic shingles, covering 70% of the exterior. As the first project in Munich to embrace this sustainable material, MONACO sets a new standard for environmentally conscious design.

The award underscores the creative collaboration between MVRDV, Rock Capital Group, and Pretty Plastic, demonstrating how innovative materials can redefine aesthetics while making a significant environmental impact.
