Lebenski is realised through the reconstruction and conversion of an existing building rather than new construction. According to the developer, this approach is expected to result in a significantly lower carbon footprint compared to a new-build scenario, as the majority of the original reinforced concrete structure is retained and structurally adapted. 

Existing load-bearing elements were preserved and strengthened where necessary and the original granite plinth was dismantled and re-laid rather than replaced. 

The retention and reuse of the structural frame and stone elements limited the extent of new primary construction materials required.

The building’s location provides access to alternatives to private car use, with a Tatra Electric Railway stop located less than 100 metres from the site, offering connections to surrounding mountain resorts and onward links to Poprad. The development also includes infrastructure to support electromobility, with provisions for electric vehicle charging and electric bicycles.

Parking capacity was increased using grass grid paving, while the proportion of green areas and the site’s ability to retain rainwater were also increased, supported by newly introduced infiltration systems.
