It has thus qualified for the selection process for the Hugo Häring State Prize 2024.

The Association of German Architects BDA Baden-Württemberg has been awarding the Hugo Häring Prize for exemplary buildings in Baden-Württemberg to clients and architects for their joint work at three-year intervals since 1969.
The award procedure has two stages. In the first stage, the Hugo-Häring Awards are presented, and in the second stage, the Hugo-Häring State Awards are presented. The state awards take part in the award procedure of the BDA architecture award Nike.

Fifty-one buildings, ranging from single-family homes and commercial buildings to kindergartens, competed for the BDA Karlsruhe award.

The small vacation home on the camping site in Karlsruhe-Durlach is the result of the cooperation of students of the architecture faculty of KIT and master carpentry students of the Friedrich-Weinbrenner-Gewerbeschule in Freiburg. Three years were spent on joint planning and construction, and sponsorships and components were raised. The shape of the building is derived from the abstraction of the motif of the original hut. The living and sleeping areas are organized on two levels in an extremely space-saving way; a maximum of four people can use the house. The building convinced the jury with its single-variety construction and thus recyclability, its livability and its integration into the nature of the campsite through its shape and wooden shingle facade. The jury would like to see more Tiny Houses in the neighborhood.
