Wilkins arrived in Singapore in 2012 for an art exhibition and immediately initiated design work on an art resort in Bali - wherein all of the elements are created by artists.

Wilkins has designed more than one hundred and fifty original furniture pieces often creating bespoke designs for individual architecture projects, as well as creating commissioned photographic artworks for interior designers.
His innovative design approach is focused on elemental programs, and site responsiveness - magnifying the experience and magnificence of the natural world as an integral element of his architecture. The buildings are timeless, significant and pure, creating a dialogue with nature and culture, weaving together light and structure, air and form.
Recent architectural projects include a nightclub featuring an expansive glass pool and cafe in Seminyak Bali, an Institute of Cinema and Performing Arts in Goa, master planning for Vistas Colonnade and the creation of a metaverse for an expanding media conglomerate. As well as the villa complex PARK PLACE in Umalas. SOL Rooftop Pererenan, VILLA TAMAN, Tumbak Bayuh as well as ATAS VILLAS, all in Bali.
