ABOUT ME
Hi there! My name is Alina Matsumoto and I recently graduated from Oregon State University in June 2024. Understanding the way people interact with the built and natural environment has always been an area of interest for me. By applying concepts in marketing and sustainability, I have a stronger grasp on the way that the wants and needs of humans must be balanced in a space to maximize both its appeal and effectiveness.
Through my experience interning for local and corporate organizations, engaging with philanthropic organizations, and holding positions within my Greek organization of 90+ members, I have learned the value of respect, support, and continuous education. Not only am I wiling to take lead and guide others, I am also eager to learn from those around me and integrate our collective ideas.

REVIVE SPA
SENIOR THESIS
For my senior thesis, my classmate and I were tasked with synthesizing primary and secondary research, developing a concept, and creating constuction documents for a space of our choice. Referencing the existing shell of a retail space in the heart of Downtown Lake Oswego, Oregon, we designed a luxurious spa/salon.
Thesis Content:
• Primary research | Interviews, tours, surveys
• Secondary research | Lighting, acoustics, biophilia, division of space, etc.
• Program requirements |Concept, end-user profiles, square footage requirements, site information
• Space Planning | Bubble and block diagrams
• Documents | Fire & life safety plan, floor plan, RCP, finish plan, elevations, sections, details
Following completion of our project, I independently rendered the project to visualize our spa’s design.

HARDING BUILDING
RENDERINGS, PLANS, AND FURNITURE SELECTIONS
With an emphasis on adaptive reuse, the purpose of this project was to conceptualize a new use for our selected building that would support the surrounding community and had ties to diversity, equity, and inclusion. With my partner, we proposed the creation of a reentry resource center for formerly incarcerated individuals, designing a collaboration and career-building office in one of the currently vacant offiices.
Concept points: rehabilitation, empowerment, successful integration, growth, change, freedom, initiative, and autonomy.

SAFE CAMP MICROSHELTER
RENDERINGS, PLANS, AND BUILDING ELEVATIONS
Safe Camp, located on the grounds of the First Congregational Church of Corvallis, provides a space for those who are houseless and offers access to basic living essentials. Residents come from a variety of backgrounds, but all share the same hope of regaining their footing.
Safe Camp’s Requests
• Safety and support
• Foster a welcoming, warm, and comfortable environment
• Integrate functionality and aesthetics
• Modular structures
• Emphasize community
• Additional built storage for residential feel
TOP ROW: BEFORE, TOURED CURRENT MICROSHELTERS BOTTOM ROW: AFTER, PROPOSED DESIGN WITH 3D RENDERINGS
Plans and Renderings with Revit
General base of 9’ x 15’ with storage, seating area, lofted bed, and desk.
The curved roof spoke to the integration of organic shapes and the muted natural colors brought the outside in for a calming space.
Safe Camp managers asked for additional built storage to replace the clothing racks and metal shelves for a more residential feeling. The addition of carpet made the space less cold and empty, and grounded the rest of the microshelter’s furnishings.
TINY HOUSE MOCK UP
HAND RENDERINGS
This project focused on applying knowledge of perspective, proportions, shading, and replicating textures in one large project. The Tiny House Mock Up is all hand-rendered using pencil, pen, and marker. Pencil was used as an underlay for construction lines and the basic outline; pen as an overlay for contour lines, details, and textures; and marker for shading.
For the exterior drawing, the objective was to create a realistic tiny house from a perspective that looked as if a human was approaching the building. Material and texture was added as well, including knotted wood, wood paneling, glass, concrete, stone, and grass.
Furniture Hand Renderings
The furniture concepts are all multi-functional or space efficient to accomodate for the small size of the interior. The coffee table, pull-out bed, and shelving/closet space can be manipulated for additional storage or be used for another purpose.
