There is a content type called Frontpage that is to be used for the front/home page of the website.
Question: Can Anyone Edit a Frontpage page?
Add a new item of that content type, set the Title to Home and the URL Alias to /home, and fill out the other fields based on the design documents for the specific website.
Once created, be sure to go to Configuration -> System -> Basic Site Settings and set Default front page to /home.
