Our Story.
The Heart Behind Loudan Studio
The name Loudan was born from the heart of our family — a blend of our daughters’ middle names, Louis and Danielle. Family is not just part of our story; it’s the foundation of everything we do. It shapes how we design, how we build, and how we care for every client we work with.
What began as a shared passion for design and construction became a studio built on trust, craftsmanship, and connection. At Loudan Studio, we believe the most beautiful spaces are those created with intention — designed to bring people together and stand the test of time.
Where Design Meets Family
Based in Lenoir City, Tennessee, Loudan Studio serves discerning homeowners in Tellico Village and the surrounding areas. Our work blends refined design, thoughtful craftsmanship, and a deep understanding of how people live — creating interiors that embody quiet luxury and enduring beauty.
From custom kitchens to serene baths and full-home interiors, we bring artistry and precision to every detail, designing spaces that reflect the lives and stories of those who call them home.

Our Philosophy
At Loudan Studio, luxury is defined by thoughtfulness — not excess. We believe true design excellence lies in the harmony of craftsmanship, materiality, and emotion. Every decision, from the curve of a countertop to the texture of a tile, is made with purpose.
We strive to create interiors that are both elegant and deeply personal — homes that reflect the lives, stories, and values of the people who inhabit them.
