Turk grew up in Michigan's lower peninsula swimming in fresh-water lakes and making art on his grandparents' farm. Early in his career he garnered experience drafting concrete, steel, and engineered-wood condominiums and offices; large-scale factories; bridges; and single-family homes for James J. Mallett Structural Engineers in Pensacola, Florida. As a designer for Fernau and Hartman Architects and Goldin Design in Berkeley, Turk worked on the offices of Viacom for Nickelodian in Manhattan, FX Network in Los Angeles, and Ask Jeeves in Berkeley before establishing his own architecture practice in 2001.

The principal's interests encompass ambient music and philosophy, and range from the history of science to the American standard of living. In keeping with this versatility, the Point Reyes Station studio generates sustainable solutions for a range of building types, including landscape, commercial, nonprofit environmental, and residential. Projects are based on principals of resource efficiency; program appropriateness; and adaptability over time with particular attention to the quality of light and space.
