Hi Ryan,
The design areas provided in the brief are open-ended with the intention that you and your team will brainstorm a range of ideas and evaluate how well they meet your design objectives/constraints.
In the ideation phase of the design process you may consider both the ideas that you’ve mentioned above. Then you’ll need to screen them against your design considerations to decide which one will be the most culturally appropriate, feasible, desirable etc.
This might be a helpful resource on housing guidelines for Indigenous communities: Wilya Janta Right Way Housing Guidelines
Hope this helps.
Kind regards,
Evelyn
