Our projects
KMDA Belgium
With over two million visitors each year, KMDA (Royal Zoological Society of Antwerp) has improved animal welfare and visitor experience with its new animal housing facilities. Technik were pleased to play a part in this successful project by providing high-quality products and expertise to create a hygienic environment for KMDA.
Blue Star Hospital
Swedish Blue Star Hospital recently relocated to a new facility, offering advanced veterinary care for pets. At Technik, we are proud to have supported this project, drawing on over 30 years of experience in designing and manufacturing solutions for the veterinary sector, where quality and design play an important part.
Battersea
Founded in 1860 by Mary Tealby, a Victorian unmarried lady who was ill with cancer, Battersea was first known as the ‘Home for Lost and Starving Dogs’. This iconic organisation, known throughout the world, with its headquarter in central London, has two further centres to the east and west of London. Technik has worked closely for many years to refurbish and carry out newbuild projects on all three sites, most recently the refurbishment of the 4 story Duke of Kent building in Battersea itself. 7000 dogs are rehomed a year from the three centres.
Battersea Dogs & Cats Home Mary Tealby Intake Kennels
A new intake kennels building was developed at Battersea, providing 56 purpose‑designed kennels within a sustainable, energy‑efficient structure. Completed in 2015, the facility combines advanced environmental systems with a wildflower roof and a striking colour scheme influenced by canine movement. The project received top BREEAM accreditation and international award recognition.
Battersea Dogs & Cats Home Keen Yard Development
Seven redundant Victorian arches have been opened up and rebuilt to create a new gateway into Battersea, complete with a public café, reception area, and landscaped courtyard. The scheme establishes Keens Yard as the charity’s primary entrance and adds specialist facilities, including a purpose‑built hydrotherapy centre and a versatile agility arena suitable for training and events.
Battersea Dogs & Cats Home 'Kent Building' rehoming kennels
The Kent Building has undergone a complete internal and external transformation, including a new glulam timber roof structure that accommodates modern plant equipment and is visually softened by green louvres. The refurbishment updates 109 kennels, 16 cat pens, and all supporting spaces, alongside a redesigned reception with interview and handover rooms. The revitalised facility was formally reopened in 2022 by HRH Prince Michael of Kent.
Birmingham Dogs Home
A purpose‑built rehoming centre and headquarters has been created for Birmingham Dogs’ Home, offering 128 kennels, veterinary facilities, offices, community spaces and staff accommodation within a carefully integrated green‑belt setting. The low‑lying, single‑storey building uses green roofs, native planting and subtle ground modelling to blend into the landscape, while its linear layout optimises welfare, circulation and operational efficiency. Passive design principles, high thermal performance and natural ventilation ensure low energy demand and minimal environmental impact.
Dogs Trust
Founded in 1891 as the ‘National Canine Defence League’, Dogs Trust (name changed in 2003) is the largest national rehoming dog charity, with 22 rehoming centres throughout the four nations of the UK and Ireland.
Since early days, the charity has helped dogs and the public with all things doggie, for example offering general advice on dog care and protection during WWII, see below poster. During WWI, they produced doggy gas masks and helped pay for dog licences for poorer families.
More recently, they are of course heavily involved in rehoming dogs to new loving homes, but also educating children, lobbying the Government re legislation, running the Freedom Project looking after dogs whose owners are escaping domestic abuse, setting up Dog School to train dogs and their owners so they can stay in the domestic home rather than be handed in to rehoming centres, and much, much more!
Evesham Rehoming Centre
Founded in 1977, Technik worked closely with Dogs Trust and the main contractor to design, manufacture and install all the components of the dog kennels, kitchens and vet suite during the recent rebuild of the site in 2014. The original wooden ‘old fashioned’ damp and cold kennels all being replaced with modern kennels. The rebuild took over a year and Technik were on site during the installation of the kennels for over a month with e large team of engineers. The site now has a capacity for 120 dogs and they rehome around 600 dogs a year to new homes.
Cardiff Rehoming Centre
Dogs Trust invested in a brand-new brown field site in the middle of Cardiff docks and have created a state-of-the-art 74 kennel rehoming and rehabilitation centre, with a large veterinary hospital, providing rescue dogs to the good folk of South Wales. Built during Covid, Technik again worked closely with the Dogs Trust and the main contractors to achieve the high standards we like to maintain. Comprising three separate building, rehoming, intake and rehabilitation, this new build remains the most up to date rehoming centre in the UK built on a brand-new brown field site.
Canterbury Rehoming Centre
Having previously rebuilt the rehoming kennels here in 2010, we were invited to return and complete the job with new intake and booked dogs kennels, as well as a smaller rehabilitation building. This work took place in 2019 and comprised 40 kennels and a vet suite.
