Building Description

A rare commercial unit available in the heart of Doornfontein’s artistic quarter—August House blends raw industrial charm with Joburg’s creative pulse. Once a traditional warehouse, now a hub for working artists and makers, the building continues to attract bold thinkers looking for something more than just square footage.

August House has long been a quiet anchor in Joburg’s inner-city creative economy. Tucked just off End Street, and only a few minutes’ walk from Maboneng, the building’s heavy concrete frame and high-volume interiors have found new life as studios, workshops, and even small design offices. There’s something inspiring about the way the light pours through the industrial windows, bouncing off paint-splattered floors and years of artistic energy. It’s gritty, yes—but also full of soul.

The area is far from sleepy. Between the cultural pull of Maboneng, the bustling foot traffic around Mai Mai Market, and the growing presence of Jewel City just down the road, there’s movement all day. You’ll find taxis, buses, and the Joe Slovo off-ramp to the M2 all nearby, making access surprisingly straightforward. This is where you come to get your hands dirty, think big, and connect with others doing the same. Ideal for small production teams, visual artists, craft businesses, and anyone tired of sterile office parks.
