Three New Factories Leading the Charge to Living Small

Smaller houses are becoming the housing of choice, especially since inflation keeps pushing affordable housing out of reach for millions of Americans, for Gen Z’s and younger Millennials. It’s become a serious movement since before the pandemic hit. Small living is now totally in vogue.





The philosophy of the movement rejects more spacious lodgings in favor of a paired-down, more efficient living. Builders of tiny houses both off and on wheels, Auxiliary Dwelling Units (ADU), RV Park Models, and other alternative housing will tell you that what makes the lifestyle so attractive is affordability, efficiency, minimalism, eco-friendliness, and the multi-functional capabilities that make for decreased maintenance costs.

Many home buyers are renouncing big residences, downsizing space, and obsessing with the ideology that less is more. People are becoming passionate with the aesthetic of those little structures and embracing the minimalist house approach, which is more than just living in a small space.

There’s plenty of online data supporting the tiny movement. The most logical is financial independence, coupled with the desire for more personal freedom. These charming, gorgeous, state-of-the-art built utopian dwellings are attracting a large sector of the population. They’re truly one of a kind with beautiful, custom-built craftsmanship.

SI Container Builds

Operating in the U.S. and Canada, S.I. Container Builds, Inc. – S.I. stands for Sustainable Imprints – constructs modern living and workspaces from recycled shipping containers, creating spaces that are functional, attractive, affordable, and have a smaller carbon footprint. From backyard offices and business studios to guest suites and cozy lounges, S.I. Container Builds offers a variety of layouts and customization options to fit whatever needs and visions their clients may have.






S.I. Container Builds debunks a common misconception that container dwellings aren’t practical or comfortable for living. Their builds consist of recycled shipping containers made from Corten steel, a highly durable material that is weather, rust, and pest resistant. S.I. Container Builds ensures their dwellings are insulated to tackle any climate and that all international building codes are met, making the build process simple and stress-free.

Their designs can be used as backyard studios or as ADUs in one of the most costly and densely populated cities on the East Coast…Washington, DC.





Their modules are shipped 95% complete to the buyer’s chosen site, with only minimal on-site assembly and finish work required. 

The Villas, which feature 9’+ ceilings, full kitchens, and spa-inspired bathrooms with rain shower and soaking tub, are aimed at both private recreational-use buyers and investors looking for a premium purpose-built option for short-term rental use.

Everything that Turn Key builds is with prefabricated, structural insulated panels, which makes the company unique. The custom structures the company builds can be installed within a single day with no special tools required.    





The structural insulated panels (SIPS) that Turn Key uses are airtight, super strong, and lightweight. The Turn Key Tiny’s can be built and assembled much faster than traditionally framed buildings. The high-quality structures that result from using these SIPs are phenomenal, given it only takes two to five days to build.
