How can we help?

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.

Engineering

Designed in-house in Fusion 360, cut on our own CNC. Tolerances measured in millimetres — not "more or less".

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.
