But a partnership between <a href=\"https:\/\/group.vattenfall.com\/\">Vattenfall<\/a>, a European renewable power company, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.superuse-studios.com\/about-us\/\">Superuse Studios<\/a>, an architect group, resulted in a tiny home made from a wind turbine.<\/p><p>The prototype for the tiny turbine house gives residents 387 square feet of interior space.

The company turned to its wind turbines, which last roughly 20 years each. They estimate around 5,000 wind turbines will reach the end of their lifespan per year over the next several years.
