Connect existing knowledge about family life, housing, shared resources, and technology so families can explore the possibilities in one place.
FPSA · Family Paradise: Sustainable Abundance
Any family. Anywhere.
Imagine more time together. More room for each generation to grow. More choices for the life your family wants to build.
We’re exploring how families can combine their strengths with practical knowledge and modern technology to make that future more attainable.
What could your family accomplish together?
Your circumstances. Your priorities. Your next step.A better future can begin with what your family already has.
Strengths to share. Skills, experience, encouragement, and the everyday ways generations help one another.
Choices to explore. Ways to use space, share responsibilities, and put time and resources toward what matters most.
Room to be yourself. Greater connection alongside privacy, independence, and a life of your own.
More possibilities for your family. More freedom for each generation.
Picture generations close enough to help one another, with room for each person’s ambitions. Useful knowledge and thoughtful technology could make daily life easier and open up choices that once seemed out of reach.
A future where families can accomplish more together while each generation still has the freedom to build a life of its own.
Read our vision
Our vision is a future where families can create greater security, freedom, opportunity, and connection by combining the strengths of multiple generations with modern knowledge and technology.
Imagine what that future could mean for your family.
Several generations of your family might live near one another, help one another, and share knowledge, skills, responsibilities, and resources—without giving up comfort, privacy, independence, opportunity, or joy.
Modern technology, artificial intelligence, and shared knowledge could help families reduce unnecessary burdens, make better use of their resources, and create greater security and abundance while maintaining a comfortable modern lifestyle.
Our vision is not that every family should live the same way. It is a future where families have more choices and can use the ideas that fit their own circumstances.
A future where families can accomplish more together while each generation still has the freedom to build a life of its own.
Turning useful knowledge into choices your family can use.
Our mission is to discover practical ways families can gain more security, opportunity, and time together by building on their combined strengths and modern knowledge.

FPSA brings together proven ideas and practical knowledge, tries them in real situations, and shares in plain language what worked, what didn't, and what it really took, so you can see what might fit your family.
There isn't one model for every family. FPSA aims to offer tested options you can mix and match, so you can choose small steps or larger ones and keep what fits your life.
Many things that give a family more independence also take a lot of time and effort. FPSA will look at where artificial intelligence, robotics, and automation can take on the repetitive heavy lifting. The point is not more gadgets; it's more time for what matters—giving you choices without creating another full-time job.
Good ideas aren't enough. We test them in real conditions, track effort, costs, and outcomes, and tell the whole story—successes and setbacks. That way, when you look at an approach, you can see what it really involves and decide with confidence if it's useful for your family.
Families shouldn't have to rediscover everything alone. FPSA will bring together the best available knowledge and technology, use artificial intelligence to help organize and examine it, test open questions, and share the reasoning and results in plain language, so you can start from a clearer place and make better-informed choices for your family.

Find out what it really takes
Examine costs, effort, maintenance, and trade-offs. Investigate where AI, robotics, and automation might reduce repetitive work and where they still fall short.
03 · Share
Make the lessons useful
Document what works, what doesn’t, and under what conditions, so families can choose and adapt ideas to their own circumstances.
A planned demonstration home in Nevada would provide one place to test ideas in daily life. Its purpose within FPSA is to produce useful evidence and lessons that other families can assess and adapt.

Hammered Earth Insulated Wall
Explore a 24-inch insulated wall proposal, local-material assumptions, and human-versus-robot cost scenarios over a 300-year evaluation horizon.
Formerly titled Fernley Insulated Rammed-Earth Wall. Fernley remains the study site; rammed earth is the engineering term.
Read the approved research. This is a research baseline. Engineering, insulation and reinforcement prices, robot performance, and the concrete comparison still need further work.
