DUBAI — FROM SAND is a Fifth & Gold special issue on how a creek, a souk and the desert became Dubai within one lifetime. I developed the concept, wrote and edited the feature, selected and directed the imagery, and shaped the art direction and layout. It's a scrolling web edition in seven chapters, opening with a counter that runs the years from 1959 to 2026 as you scroll.

THE STAFF is a Fifth & Gold tech feature on humanoid robots as household staff for the elite, written as a placement file for the newest candidates in service. I developed the concept, wrote and edited the feature, selected and directed the imagery, and shaped the magazine-style art direction and layout. The piece explores what happens when the butler, the driver and the housekeeper are machines.

HOUSES & HOTELS is a Fifth & Gold art feature on EDEN, House of Art, told as a Monopoly board: every square a gallery in a place where the money goes on holiday, every title deed painted by Alec Monopoly. I developed the concept, wrote and edited the feature, selected and directed the imagery, and shaped the art direction and layout. The piece explores how one dealer's gallery became eleven.

THE PENTHOUSE is a Fifth & Gold aviation feature on the three-room apartment Etihad keeps on the top floor of the Airbus A380, the largest passenger jet ever built. I developed the concept, wrote and edited the feature, selected and directed the imagery, and shaped the magazine-style art direction and layout. The piece tours the aircraft like a building, floor by floor, all the way up.
