In this paper, the residential space,especially the traditional dwellings space is the research object.We hope to explore theessence of the dwelling space design and to provide reference for the future.Mou’s Manor,as the research object in this paper, is a typical representative of the feudallandlord class residential buildings in north China. Geographically it is affected by QILUculture and JIAODONG culture, in theory by Confucianism and other Chinese traditionalculture. Based on the composition of Chinese traditional space including theory elements,function elements, psycholog elements and technique elements，this paper analies Mou’sManor from the whole space, the emotion space and the suitable space.
