This paper discusses the issue related to social life within the context of a neighbourhood. It takes on the case study of multi-family housing, which its urban forms are generally monofunctional, stand-alone, large scale, spread out and car dependency. This type of urban form may cause inclusivity and isolation to its context and problems in social interactions within its neighbourhood. This study examined the concept of life outside and life inside in multi-family housing design to create a more livable housing environment. The life outside concept aims to create a human-oriented neighbourhood by directing daily human activity towards outdoor space, through the integration of proximity, density, dan diversity. While the life inside concept aims to allow, residents to socialize with others through the design of a high probability of encounter zones in the building. Based on the observation at a multifamily housing complex at Rainbow Springs, Tangerang, this study proposed design criteria and strategies for a livable multi-family housing environment within the neighbourhood and inside the building itself. This study implies that integration between site planning and building design should be taken into consideration to form a livable neighbourhood.
