Disabled individuals experiencing chronic homelessness need a community designed to support their physical, mental, and social needs. Eden Village—America’s first master-planned tiny-home community—provides safe housing along with on-site care and supportive services. The first Eden Village opened in 2018 in Springfield, Missouri, and the model has since been replicated in communities across the country.
In Mesa, Arizona, construction began in late 2025 on a 21-home tiny-home community developed by John1334 Ministries and designed by J4 Architecture and Design. Wright Engineers is proud to have donated structural engineering services to support this worthwhile project.

DALLAS GROWTH CONTINUES—TWO NEW PRINCIPALS
Wright Engineers is pleased to announce that David Riddle, PE, SE and Aditya Inbasekaran, PE, SE have been promoted to Principal in our Dallas office.
David brings broad project experience across tilt-up industrial, commercial, retail, multi-family, and parking structures, along with deep expertise in evaluating and adapting existing buildings for repair and reuse. Known for hands-on client service and steady team leadership through design and construction, David holds a BA (Mathematics/German) from Austin College and an ME (Civil/Structural) from Texas A&M University. He is licensed as a PE and SE in Texas and is a member of SEAoT. Outside the office, David enjoys cooking, cycling, learning new skills, and the outdoors with his wife, Julianne, and their family.
Aditya’s experience spans multi-family and student housing, education, hospitality, and industrial tilt-up projects for warehouses and manufacturing. He holds an MS (Civil Engineering) from Arizona State University and a BE (Civil Engineering) from the University of Mumbai (India). Active in SEAoT and ASCE, Aditya is certified by Cal OES as a Disaster Service Worker for Essential Emergency Duties. He is also passionate about mentoring developing engineers and delivering quality work for clients. Aditya’s interests include volleyball, racquetball, cricket, pickleball, Bollywood dance, cooking, hiking, camping, and travel—and as an avid Formula 1 fan, he hopes to attend every Grand Prix.
FASTER COORDINATION, FEWER SURPRISES
More and more project teams are standardizing on cloud-based model collaboration—and for good reason. Autodesk BIM 360 gives architects, engineers, and builders a shared, permission-controlled “single source of truth” for models and project documents, so everyone is coordinating from the same, current information. That can mean fewer version-control headaches, faster alignment, and cleaner handoffs between disciplines.
A key advantage is the publish/share/consume workflow: teams can package model updates intentionally, and other teams can review and adopt them at the right time—staying current without constant disruption. Combined with model coordination and issue tracking, BIM 360 helps teams catch conflicts earlier and resolve them before they become field problems.
Wright Engineers is built for this kind of collaboration. We model structural systems in Revit and collaborate in BIM 360, making it easier for architects and builders to review our 3D framing intent, coordinate openings and clearances earlier, and reduce RFIs and rework—delivering a smoother path from design through construction.
