Equipped with modern, eco-friendly technologies like a heat pump, solar panels, and a solar water heater, the house is designed for sustainability. They have ingeniously repurposed a wind turbine nacelle—the large pod at the top of a turbine—into a fully functional tiny house.

The tiny house, constructed from a V80 2MW turbine that operated for 20 years in Austria, is compact yet livable. Measuring 4 meters in width, 10 meters in length, and 3 meters in height, it includes a kitchen, bathroom, and living area.
