【 摘 要 】

Considered as people with both physical and/or mental disabilities, an elderly might find it hard to get into a social involvement. However, being bedridden and disconnected with their social circle is proven to cause more damage to their health, hence declining their quality of life. They need a place to connect and to enjoy both by themselves or by company of others, a home-like place which is called a third place. This paper seeks to find the home-like factor in a third place as a site to help enhancing the quality of life of the elderly. The study was done through home and at-homeness theory in literature study as well as case study in Hema Resto, Kemang Pratama, Bekasi City, Indonesia with defamiliarization and interviews. The result indicates that the arrangement of radial seating pattern helps them to connect more with people around them, giving them chance to be involved and enhance of elderly's life quality.
