Engineering
Designed in-house in Fusion 360, cut on our own CNC. Tolerances measured in millimetres — not "more or less".
01Who we are
About us.
About you.
We design and build modular camper conversions in our Sydney workshop — engineered to turn any day car into a weekend home, and back into a car by Monday. From the first cut to the last bolt, every kit leaves Matraville ready for the road.

02The name
Form, perfected
by repetition.
KATA/ˈkɑː.tə/ — a form practised until it's exact
In Japanese, a kata is a precise sequence repeated until nothing is wasted — mastery through repetition and intention. We took the name because it's how we build.
Every model begins as a prototype, cut and refined by hand until the fit is exact. Then it's drawn in Fusion 360, cut on our own CNC, and held to tolerances measured in millimetres — not "more or less". That discipline is the difference between a kit that almost fits and one that clicks home like it was made for your van. Because it was.
Spaces that feel good to live in — not just use.
03Why we build
Unlocking adventure.
Our passion lives on the open road — the pull of a weekend away, the need to recharge and chase the horizon without leaving comfort behind.
So we built a modular system that turns your daily driver into a camper in minutes, and back into a car when Monday comes. No second vehicle. No permanent changes. Just freedom, packed into a kit you can install yourself.
Your day car. Your weekend home.
04Why Kata
Built the right way,
start to finish.
Three things set a Kata kit apart — and all three come down to control over how it's made.
Modularity
Built to your vehicle's factory dimensions and your trip — with no permanent modifications. In for the weekend, out by Monday.
Made in Australia
Every kit cut, welded and finished in our Matraville workshop. No outsourcing — full control over every detail.
