The objective of this study is to analyze the deconstruction of home meaning both physically and psychologically among the millennials in urban area, particularly the city of Surabaya. Based on the data collected, the trend of traveling and enriching experiences are considered more important for millennials compared to the ownership of a place to live. Even in urban area, new spaces have been emerged to replace the function of home. For instances apartment, boarding house, and inns that are affordable compared to the price of one land plot in the city. Home is not only inferred as a place to rest and gather with the family, but also for a place to work, to develop entrepreneurship, or to hold the building ownership in order to stop for a while. Meanwhile, millennials are able to create activities outside their houses as a new happiness as in the home. By using Derrida-s deconstruction approach through analyzing the texts spoken by the interviewees, this research aims to identify the complexity of the significance on home concept both physically (buildings) and psychologically (the inherent values). The meaning patterns of the collected data will be linked to the traces followed. So that the significance complexity of home concept in urban area by millennials can be found.
