His major projects include the Suntory Art Museum in Tokyo, the Bamboo Wall House in China, the Japanese headquarters of the LVMH Group (Louis Vuitton Moet Hennessy), the Besançon Art Center in France and one of the largest spas in the Caribbean for the Mandarin Oriental Dellis Cay.[3]​.

Stone Roof, a private residence in Nagano, Japan, built in 2010, consists of a roof that is intended to rise from the ground, providing a complete enclosure to the house. A local stone was chosen to relate intimately to the pre-existing natural environment on the mountain side. The exterior stone work is made light and airy by cutting each stone into thin slices and tying each slice as a pivot panel. In this way, the high quality of the stone is diluted and provides the eye with an illusion of lightness, allowing light and air to enter directly into the interior space. With this choice of material and construction, a new kind of transparency emerges. One that not only frames nature like a glass curtain would, but also relates deeply to the mountain side.

Kengo Kuma has designed Roof / Birds, a guest house located on a hillside overlooking Mount Asama in Karuizawa, Nagano Prefecture, an area that is home to wild birds. It is a set of small buildings to minimize the impact on nature and not disturb the birds. The most notable thing is the wooden roofs inclined at different angles, which dialogue with the wooded environment and seem to levitate among the trees. The gabled roofs float on glass bodies with structures that seek maximum lightness with pillars made of steel profiles.[4]​.

In 2021 Kengo Kuma created an installation on the staircase of Gaudí's Casa Batlló in Barcelona, ​​composed of layers of shimmering curtains. It is an immersive installation that suspends 164,000 meters of Kriskadecor aluminum chain, placing the lightest curtains on the upper floors and black on the lowest level to emulate what Gaudí did in the patio of the house.[5]​.
