After wind turbine experience its end of life, there are many materials lost. Last time, Blade-Made has utilized those blades and this time, the brand wants to reuse remaining part of GFPR material into something useful. Nacelle Tiny House is a tiny house designed and developed to meet building regulations the same as What If Lab project by the Dutch Design Foundation. It has the same scenario to build a tiny house.
Nacelle Tiny House utilizes a part of a wind turbine called nacelle, the tower that houses all technology needed for operation. Nacelle’s size is about 10 meters long and 5 meters wide, it’s actually large enough to be habitable. To play on the word nacelle, this project is called Nestle.
At first, Superuse developed some designs to reuse other parts from those wind turbines, parts which are typically decommissioned after 25 years. Keeping this in mind, De Krieger co-founded Blade-Made in 2023 to bring some of those designs to the market. Tiny house is a demonstration that any transformation of nacelle is actually doable. We can transform it into a shed, a carport, or even a tiny house. This particular nacelle has the right properties from floor space, height, to transportability to be transformed into a tiny house, the interior has been styled by Reliving.nl for Dutch design Week.
