small lot, BIG SOLUTION

For the first time ever in Cook County and Chicago proper, two container homes are being installed to enjoy as a main home next to its counterpart ADU.


S.I. Container Builds worked with the client to develop a solution for this unusually thin lot which had very little potential. We were able to fit both homes and have plans for warm and inviting landscaping. Could there be a better solution than a shipping container home?!



This solution allows the owner an affordable home and a home to generate passive income at the same time. In some cases, passive income on a tiny home can pay off in 2-3 years.


Evanston is such a special place. Situated north of Chicago, it is renowned for its vibrant community and cultural diversity. Over time, it has evolved into a bustling urban center while retaining its historic charm and green spaces. Its educational institutions, including Northwestern University, contribute to its diverse neighborhoods and robust economy.



This was the perfect location for S.I. Container Builds to partner with the Evanston planning commission – every step of the way – so that they would feel comfortable with an offsite, modular build.


A perfect blend of quality, affordability, and sustainability.
