Zoute Schorre is a unique residential development in the upscale coastal town of Knokke, Belgium. A serene place where architecture, refinement, and nature meet in a car-free, green environment. The stylish villas radiate character: clean lines, soft tones, and natural materials. Every detail breathes quality. Here, you live tailor-made – surrounded by greenery, just a stone’s throw from the sea and the golf course. And above all, enhanced by the smartest Qbus technology.
Developed by POC Partners, the homes were delivered as shell constructions, ready to be finished entirely to the buyer’s preferences. From the very beginning, each villa was technically prepared in close cooperation between the installer and the future residents or second-home owners. Smart lighting, automated blinds or ventilation, access control – everything was possible, nothing obligatory.
Electrical installation was entrusted to Famil nv, a long-standing partner of Qbus. “We’ve been working with Qbus for over ten years”, says Luc Famil of Famil nv. A trusted choice – once again.
We’ve been working with Qbus for over ten years. Their systems are both innovative and dependable. And above all, we can always count on them – for technical expertise, sound advice, during the project and long after completion.
Effortless upgrades
From basic lighting and ventilation control to automated blinds and gate operation – everything is seamlessly integrated with Qbus. “Our systems are designed to be flexible without adding complexity,” says Thomas Ballegeer, Sales Engineer at Qbus. “You start with a solid, professionally installed foundation. Anything extra can be added later — simply plug it in. There's no need to install everything all at once.”
Convenient for the installer, but even more so for future residents. The smart integration of all systems means it’s more than just comfort — it’s peace of mind. Especially for second-home owners: with full control of their holiday home in their pocket, they can rest easy.
We’re building homes that are ready for the future — even if we don’t yet know everything the future will make possible
Reliable
For Famil as an installer, reliability is key. “We share responsibility for the final result — so you need a system that delivers on its promises and keeps performing over time,” they say. “Qbus has proven itself time and again. Their products are top quality, their support is reliable, and if something happens, they fix it fast. That’s exactly what we need for projects of this caliber.”
For the project developer, partnering with Qbus also means peace of mind. Homebuyers can fully customise their comfort and control systems. Qbus handles the technical execution together with the installer. Zoute Schorre is a perfect example of how well-integrated technology adds value to premium homes. And anything not installed from day one?
That can always be added later — no demolition, no disruption. “We’re building homes that are ready for the future — even if we don’t yet know everything the future will make possible,” Thomas concludes.
