House Inside a Wind Turbine: Blade-Made’s Radical Tiny Home Innovation

What if a wind turbine could become your next home? That’s exactly the vision behind Blade-Made’s latest projecta micro house built inside a decommissioned wind turbine nacelle. This bold concept reimagines industrial waste as cozy, off-grid living.

Dutch studio Blade-Made, co-founded by architect Jos de Krieger of Superuse, designed the tiny house using a nacelle—the streamlined shell that once housed the turbine’s core machinery. Measuring about 10 meters long and 4 meters wide, the capsule proved just large enough to become a minimalist cabin, now called Nestle.

Though the exterior keeps its raw, industrial look, the interior has been fully transformed. Local firm Woodwave lined the walls in pale plywood, added acoustic PET felt to the ceiling, and inserted compact living zones for sleeping, cooking, and relaxing. Grouping the bathroom, kitchen, and tech components together reduced the need for excessive wiring and plumbing.

To power the home, the designers added solar panels on the roof, a solar boiler for hot water, and an air-to-air heat pump. Airtight insulation and triple-glazed windows ensure year-round comfort. While the layout is compact, it feels open and flexible enough to serve as a home, exhibition space, or mobile office.
