About

My name is Timothy Clark. I am the owner and principal designer at Home and Temple Design. Actually, I’m the only designer. I like to work closely with my clients, and I find that the design yields the best results when I concentrate on it personally. I work with engineers, when necessary, to provide a complete architectural and environmental building design service. My roots are in the coastal mountains of Northern California, but I’ve designed customs homes, temples and retreat centers in many places including Nepal, India, Taiwan, Myanmar, Hawaii and Costa Rica. I have 15 years of experience in home construction and I’ve designed more than 300 buildings over the 40 years of my career.

Areas Served

Most of the work I’ve done has been in Northwest California, from Santa Cruz County to Humboldt County.  Since I’ve lived in the Bay Area for the past 15 years, I’ve done many additions and remodels in Contra Costa, Alameda, Marin and San Francisco Counties.  I’ve dealt with Planning and Building Departments in many Bay Area Cities (some are better than others).  With a good topographic survey, as-built plans and photo, I’m able to work on projects pretty much anywhere.  Using the internet, the phone and Zoom communication is simple and it’s not necessary to visit the project site very often, although it’s helpful meeting with clients at the site at least a few times.

times to talk about ideas and different design options. Tim gave us
good advise and was very patient.
