Bamboo architecture
We design and build statement structures in bamboo, with the presence of art.
What we do
One team, from first sketch to final pole
DUAGUA is a full-service bamboo company. We design the structure, supply the treated guadua and build it. Quality is never someone else's problem.
The material
The strength of steel. The freedom of form.
Our bamboo carries steel-grade tensile strength at a fraction of the weight and it curves into forms timber can't achieve.

Premium treated guadua, ready to build with
Architects and builders across Panama and beyond source their bamboo from our facility.

- Sun-dried in racks and turned for even drying
- Graded, inspected and stored dry
- Consistent stock and reliable lead times
We build what doesn't exist. Yet?

How it works
From your idea to a finished space
Every DUAGUA project follows the same four stages, so nothing gets lost between the first sketch and the last pole.
01
Consultation & design
We start with your vision, your site and your budget, and turn it into a design that fits all three.
02
Engineering & permits
Structural calculations, technical drawings and permitting, handled so your project is buildable and approved.
03
Fabrication & pre-assembly
Treated poles are cut, joined and pre-assembled in our factory before anything leaves for site.
04
Construction & handover
Our team installs on site, finishes the details, and hands you a space that's ready to live in.
About Duagua
Bali-inspired architecture in the heart of the Americas
DUAGUA was founded by Nachely and Justin, an architect and a systems thinker who moved to Panama to build with bamboo, and found that professionally treated guadua simply wasn't available. So they built the whole chain themselves: from the forest and the treatment bath to design, permits and construction. One company answerable for every step.
