Génius: An exceptional residence in Besançon in the heart of the Viotte business district  
Located in the heart of the Viotte business district in Besançon, the Génius residence is a contemporary project designed by the developer SMCI and renowned Neapolitan architect Silvio d'Ascia. Combining architectural innovation and environmental commitment, this project blends perfectly into the Besançon urban landscape.  
Award-winning and bold architecture - Winner of the 2024 National ArturBain Prize, Génius stands out for its innovative design and harmonious integration into the local environment.
