The Stopover has been adapted from a dilapidated former grain store into overflow accommodation.  It provides respite from the environment, whilst also framing it, taking into consideration the unique situation of farmers living where they work.

The original materials are balanced with contemporary patching, insertions, and overlay.  The life of the building is extended by its new use. 

Existing openings were retained and the project designed around them, with a single new opening required.  A pair of faceted capsules were inserted and an existing verandah partially infilled.  External detailing is particularly robust in response to nearby buildings, and the toughness of the environment.

At its heart The Stopover is a small controlled environment in a large and largely uncontrollable landscape.
