Pagani Residences has completed the installation of a Living Seawall along its North Bay Village waterfront, adding 33 custom 3D-printed panels designed with Miami-based Kind Designs. The project’s representatives announced the installation on November 9, marking a new waterfront milestone at the residential development on Biscayne Bay.
The panels take their surface patterns from mangrove roots, creating textured areas intended to give marine organisms places to attach, grow and shelter. They also incorporate the elliptical shapes used throughout Pagani Residences, carrying the project’s design language into its shoreline infrastructure.
Kind Designs is a Miami-based climate-tech company backed by Mark Cuban, according to the announcement. Its Living Seawall approach differs from a flat concrete wall by adding a more varied surface intended to support marine habitat.

Kind Designs has partnered with Florida International University to monitor marine life at other Living Seawall installations. Those studies concern comparable installations, not measured ecological outcomes at Pagani. The announcement does not report ecological measurements from Pagani’s installation.
The seawall milestone is separate from completion of the residences. PROFILEmiami previously reported the development’s groundbreaking in May 2026; the newly supplied photographs show the panels alongside an active construction site.
Kind Designs is also supplying Living Seawall panels for Brickell Key, where nearly 6,000 feet of seawall dating to 1973 is being replaced, according to the project’s representatives. At Pagani, the completed panels put the habitat-oriented design in place along the development’s Biscayne Bay edge.
