VKG Architecture Prize 2025: the nominees are known

The 14th edition of the VKG Architecture Award puts innovative and sustainable applications of plastic window frames in the spotlight. The professional jury has nominated six projects from the many entries. Two winners will be selected from these nominees, one in the new construction category and one in the renovation category. The festive presentation of the VKG Architecture Award 2025 will take place on November 6, during the Climate Summit GO of Duurzaam Gebouwd in the Jaarbeurs Utrecht. 

The entries concern projects from residential and commercial construction. The plastic window frame industry is innovating in abundance and is strongly committed to sustainability - exactly the quality the jury is looking for. Extra appreciation goes to entries that create social added value.
