Many languages, including English, have words to distinguish between houses (structures or spaces where people primarily live) and homes—structures or spaces where people are living, have lived, will live until they perish or move. The difference is usually understood more by vibe than a handful of qualifying characteristics, but the easiest way to describe a home is something that facilitates life, protects and nurtures it, while also, in the process, becomes something vital itself. Homes might be houses with minds, bodies, and souls. If so, Dr. Gautam Gulati might be one of the few professionals suited to become their primary-care physician.
Gulati is a doctor of internal medicine, but we’re not talking about that right now. He wears many hats—a wardrobe of eight, including physician, professor, and public speaker—but his latest venture, called the Well Home, is a highly specialized interiors firm.
