Lebenski Recasts A Tatra Sanatorium Into Calm Mountain Apartments
Lebenski stands on the edge of the forest in Stary Smokovec, Slovakia, where the High Tatras rise behind a once-neglected modernist sanatorium. Reimagined by Atrium Architekti as a contemporary hotel-style apartment building, the project balances strict park regulations with an insistence on quiet clarity. Guests now look out over the Horný Smokovec valley from a structure that keeps its familiar outline while updating its mountain character for a new generation of visitors.
