Paraguay is not a backdrop to this project.
It is one of its foundations.
Casa de SAM is being built here because Paraguay offers something rare and essential for adults with lifelong support needs: space, rhythm, warmth, and the possibility of permanence.
Paraguayan life is deeply relational. Families live close to one another. Daily life happens outdoors. Neighbors know each other. Time moves differently.
Care does not exist in isolation here — it exists inside family systems, community routines, and shared daily life.
This project is not about importing a foreign model.
It is about building with the strengths that already exist.
Open walkways. Shaded patios. Natural light. Fresh air as part of daily routine.
Open-air design is not an aesthetic choice.
It is a care decision.
Casa de SAM requires 7–12 hectares not for scale — but for peace.
Paraguay allows:
- human-scaled residential design
- clear separation between public and private spaces
- room for farming, sensory forests, and long-term growth
Autistic children in Paraguay are growing into adults.
Families are carrying the responsibility largely on their own.
Casa de SAM exists to ensure adulthood does not arrive without a plan.
Paraguay is not where this project happens.
Paraguay is why it can exist at all.
