Home - A Particularly Complex Concept
The word home can have different meanings for different people: there are those who say that it is wherever you feel good and welcomed, wherever you leave your heart.
In the other hand, there are others that argue that home is a unique place where you have family which makes someone feel great- a SINGLE place; well, despite I agree with both opinions, for me, home is where you reunite with all people you care about and love, doesn’t matter if it is on a physical place (house) or not. Now house “enters” in the discussion. House and Home are not necessarily the same thing, because there can be a home with no house (home-sentimental, psychological/house-physical).
Home is like it has been seen, a little complex and relative item to describe. For me, is a concept that includes safety, warmness, happiness, and relationships. At home someone can be and feel safe and that, an example: when second world war American sailors were coming back, sometimes, there were on the docks, some giant posters with the phrase- “Welcome Home”, this gives for sure “strength” to what I’ve said previously.
In Wikipedia, it is said that home is a place where a person or family lives, perhaps spends much of their time, or where a person is comfortable being. While a house(or other residential dwelling) is often referred to as a home, the concept of "home" is broader than a physical dwelling. Home is often a place of refuge and safety, where worldly cares fade and the things and people that one loves becomes the focus. Many people think of home in terms of where they grew up, or a time rather than a place.
The word "home" is also used for various residential institutions which aspire to create a home-like atmosphere, such as a retirement home, a nursing home , a 'group home' (an orphanage for children or a retirement home for adults), a foster home.
Finishing, I can say that home is simply the place where someone feels familiarized with it and where is with all those he/she most want and feels happy

In my viewing...
House - Just a building, an arquitecture project which can provide us the "Home" we need.
but, Home - is a place of warmth, kidness, affection with our loved ones, and can only be where our hearts reside not just on a simple house.
But, hey, that's just me... =)
