i am guessing that you can achieve this by running bash as root, but with $HOME still set to /home/tarvid
eg if you used $sudo bash

sam@oberon:~$ sudo -i
root@oberon:~# echo $HOME
/root
root@oberon:~# logout
sam@oberon:~$ sudo -s
root@oberon:~# echo $HOME
/home/sam
root@oberon:~# exit
sam@oberon:~$ sudo bash
root@oberon:~# echo $HOME
/home/sam
