T ui Lifestyle, created by interior designer Tui Pranich and entrepreneur Jason Atkins, is a high-style, turnkey furniture and design service offering everything from sofas to silverware, lamps to luxury linens, armchairs to artwork, tables to big-screen TVs and case goods to scented candles and bathroom essentials. The packages are sourced from around the world, with upholstery coming primarily from the United States and case goods from Asia. Roughly half of the merchandise is designed by and is exclusive to Tui. Inspired by well-crafted pieces, it makes sense that the president and CEO, Jason Atkins, would bring the Tui Lifestyle to his own home on La Gorce Island in Miami. With 3,880 square feet of living space, the home was built in 1947 and has gone through many renovations over the years. Atkins purchased the property in September 2009. The property features four bedrooms and four-and-a-half bathrooms. “When I bought it, it was a diamond in the rough. It had amazing storm windows with center arches,” Atkins said. “I wanted to go with something not so trendy; I wanted a classic Miami feel, but not too art deco,” he added. Atkins added Venetian plaster on all the walls, crown moulding, built book shelves in a breakfast nook, resurfaced and stained three-plank dark cherry wood throughout. In the bathrooms, Atkins left the original sinks and added vintage Waterworks hardware. He also mirrored the bathrooms, making the space appear larger. Tui Lifestyle designs, manufactures and sells packages of high-end furniture. The company, which promises to furnish a client’s home within 72 hours, offers 11 different design packages to choose from. Atkins furnished his home with the Avenue collection and Tui furnishings and accessories, including all artwork. The Avenue package defines French transitional design with a modern flair.
