Listening to Louis Khan (1996), spaces are sensations, and sensations are ambiances. Working with the case of domestic architecture, this essay tries to understand the construction of ambiance. The aim is to show step by step how space interacts with people. We will start with the space talk, an identical and objective speech. After, working with the multi-scalar and the cognitive meaning of the architectural object, we are going to bring to light the twice levels of meaning: one denoted and an other connoted. To finish, we will focus on the second meaning, the connoted one, whom is building a cognitive ambiance. At the end, housing ambiance looks like a social study case, a mirror of a society in a very specific context.
