Inside Maps Maponyane's Joburg Apartment | House & Garden South Africa

Maps Maponyane takes us on a tour of his beautiful Joburg apartment, designed by STUDIO 19. The newly renovated apartment of Joburg's most stylish son is a cocoon of low-key panache and quiet charm, the ideal tonic to big-city living.
The House & Garden August issue with Maps Maponyane on the cover is on sale now!

Hey why is that the case?😂😂

😂 thought I broke my AirPods

[@ritamix33]

omg me too!!!! LMAOOOOOOO

[@madlokovumngadi5159]

Beautiful apartment and design. I was more impressed by how Maps supports local talent, his art collection is mostly South African and his hat collection is by Simon and Mary which are South Africans and I also saw shoes by Mariah McCloy, also South African. Really exciting to see someone in the lime light buying local. Big ups to Maps.

Click-bate of note... Lol

[@luthandolumarcho8400]

Thank You For This. The Same Is To Happen For You.. More Blessings.

[@monde5920]

His apartment gives me boutique hotel vibes.

[@khadijeha3042]

Its so rare to meet a classy guy like this guy....Blessings to him

[@sphumelelesijadu]

The house would be perfect for someone like me. I don't see the need of 20 bedrooms if you live alone. This is the the kind of space I see myself in once I graduate and get a job. The closest in the second bedroom is exactly how I describe my dream bachelor pad.

[@Lindrish897]

I'm impressed with that statement from a young person. In this day & age there's lot of competition amongst young people more especially black ones and they end up frustrated because when things take a negative turn they loose everything as they don't own any of those, all belong to different banks

[@sphumelelesijadu]

@@Lindrish897 yeah that is so true. I am in my third year and I still hear people taking about triple stories. Like really? You don't even have degree and you think ten story buildings will just land on your lap. Like I'm not saying it won't happen or that a degree is all you need but be realistic. People don't start jobs with a R500 000 salary.

[@bramwelabene]

What a nice apartment..!!I'm in love with the colour scheme 😍

[@soulbird4389]

Subtle neh...

[@misscvlog5402]

more like the tone, its not so much color as it is tone and texture

[@smangelezwane6147]

Yoh so beautiful

[@lawrencelaw8311]

his composure and the way he speaks, reminds me of Alex Costa

[@Itsnotacrime_cms]

Whenever I see so many dark colours in a home I quickly conclude a man decorated it. And this guy knows every detail of the decor.

[@sissgugu]

When you end up on this beautiful platform but realise that there’s only two of these home tour videos... Make it happen guys - MORE.

[@ahkingeemooi8919]

People forget that this man was a presenter on Top Billing...because he is legit talking about his home as if he was presenting on Top Billing.

[@magwacela]

Maps: "Everyhouse needs a good kitchen" Me: I don't even have a side lamp

[@mphojeanettemabusane8780]

I like that he kept the door frames, it amazing how they merge with Modern design. Beautiful masculine space☺💖

[@archiboldramasenya9385]

hahahaha did he just say his hair line isnt pushed back as far as a rhinhanna album? yo the punchlines lmao

[@PHlophe]

Archie he read her for filth

[@Heyu7her3]

YO I JUST SCREAMED...still no album, tho

[@TerrellAmari]

@@Heyu7her3and the album STILL ain’t here lol

[@mmjkk]

Lovely apartment but H&G the filming of this was super shaky. Firstly most of the shots were really tight and zoomed in… for a video about a wide space. While Maps was talking more focus was done on him rather than on panning the camera around his space. Then once he was ready to move on to another space you would briefly film 2 second glimpses of specific corners of each room/space. Definitely need to work to give us a more complete picture, the person talking is just as important as the space and vice versa.

[@UKLeonie]

Yes,I wanted more wide shots of the property. I guess I'll have to find another link to see the beauty of the landscape.

[@limitededition3712]

Malkia true. Felt the same

[@thabisomokoma6830]

Oh my Lord! THE PLEATED CURTAIN!!!! 😍😍

[@ChristianJoyD]

Yes! Where can I find one?

[@ayhdiv84]

The pleated curtains so nice!

[@csl6018]

Love his taste in art and the moodiness of his space.

[@tshiamomoahloli9991]

This is literally a translation /extension of who you are. Looks clean and detailed

[@MogauF]

Absolutely stunning. I like how the design is personalized and not abstract.

[@kayskuriousappetite9571]

This is just so earthy cosy and beautiful

[@helenels8678]

Love your colour palette, love your art and altogether a gorgeous apartment. ..well done!

[@zamanyembe5467]

You can tell that if someone would remove one brick from the wall, Maps would notice it.

[@khwezay]

Lmaooooooooooo 😂

[@siceluxolontombela921]

😂😂😂 imagine😂😂

[@oceanlover1318]

Zama Nyembe I’ve never heard of this young man. But you’re right about your comment.😂😂😂

[@stillast1sfirst]

True lol, he pays attention to detail

[@sharmashivi4036]

@@stillast1sfirst I like these kind of guys..

[@vimbayimudzingwa8074]

I can listen to you talk all day 😍

[@toniamcdonald1329]

Beautiful, his home is a reflection of him very masculine. You can tell he put a lot of thought into his design.

[@njugunakariuki6893]

Quite the immaculate space & an equally impressive book collection :)

[@MTMF.london]

Beautifully done. Love that smokey dark blue colour.

[@chadrasmussen3300]

Home and Garden definitely looking forward to more videos like this, beyond the pages of the magazine

[@mariakoutromanos8232]

Loved the way you view and describe your art collection

[@benjiw.1374]

7:30 next to the TV "Imigongo" from#Rwanda😊 Beautiful apartment...

[@joselito7776]

Nice but too dark. I wish he would have left some of the walls white to brighten the place up. As it is, it has the vibe of a gentlemen's club.

[@futoijosei]

Honestly, as soon as they showed it I thought, "That is definitely a bachelor's apartment."

[@azaniaafrika9862]

Someone is doing things right now at House and Garden and Condé Nast. After providing people with what they want and faces they relate to, the numbers have shot up! Lethabo achieved 45K views in just a month! She might not be highbrow or traditional ‘House and Garden’ but she’s definitely South African! It’s great to see the merger. The two have great potential of complementing one another. Keep it up guys!

[@mongikazip]

It looks beautiful and dark, I love dark interior design colours

[@Nickster7]

The stacking door is definitely my favourite. Very nice apartment!!

[@tiatemjentzudir4998]

Loved every bit of it. Well he's a true gentleman too.

[@khulekaninyuswa721]

Very neat apartment👌 it's just a little dark for me,it gives musiam vibes/Lodge...

[@ntandozinyika3061]

It was like listening to myself talk... It's beautiful

[@mosesseky1423]

its amazing, i need to hang out with Maps guys. i need to get my coolness on

[@lungahm7399]

Hope there’s a Nelson Makamo piece somewhere there, love the collection, beautiful space

[@oceanlover1318]

Lungah M Hi 👋🏽. I live in America (California). Can you please provide me a list of African artist. I most admired the kid with the blue hand and flower he showed and the picture he mentioned titled Big Smoke. So sorry, but I couldn’t catch the artist names. Thank you.🌟

[@stillast1sfirst]

A beautiful house. We on Lockdown so this has been a welcomed watch. Well done Maps.

[@DicksonDee]

Stunning cozy place 👌🏾 That hat collection...green with envy.

[@saraht1367]

Love his art collection. This apartment is really beautiful and well thought through. Awesome!

[@kuselwa6715]

I like the cinema curtains

[@soledadcarnot4737]

Beautiful place! Nice, clean and cozy I really enjoyed the tour. Thank you for sharing👏👏👏

[@veenteriorspacedesign]

Stunning home 👌 Those curtains are the one!!!

[@serleymogaladi251]

It's cool but way too dark It needs some light so that the art pieces can showcase beautifully

[@davidweru3134]

I was born in the darkness, moulded by it. I didn't see the light until I was already a man and by then it was nothing to me but BLINDING!!!

[@mohshii6672]

I agree the place is kinda too dark but if he' comfortable with it I am

[@everettlopez9127]

I disagree. I think it would only be too dark if there was a literal lack of natural light/light in general, but imo that’s not the case here. I’ve heard people with dark walls say that it made the light objects in their home stand out and be the most important things in the space. I think that’s what he has going on in this home

[@tasteoftakeisha]

Lovely home seems so nice and cozy and I love how masculine it is

[@tasteoftakeisha]

Those pleated curtains are nice

[@keletsomokone2663]

This is beautiful, very charming.

[@itumelengselebalo5680]

This was soo therapeutic can't explain it, his voice 😌 asmr vibes

[@BrendaBaBoom]

Beautiful home and love the gold tones and BLACK walls🖤

Studio 19👌👌👌

[@Lindrish897]

Wise young man by the looks of things I concluded that you know money and I will not be surprised when one day they say you are a billionaire, just taking things step by step. You definitely know what you are doing, you are not in a competitio you've got it all planned.👌

[@LwaziMgandela]

Favourite part of the apartment: Everything Least favourite: the closet/wardrobe I’m so proud of you Maps 🔥😎🍾 glad to see how it finally turned out

[@damienmartin3039]

You did your thing with the decor bro.

[@sallykabukuru1638]

Beautiful apartment!

[@YongamaLove]

Maps is such a cool guy...a true gentleman...Love your space, especially that I love dark deco but I usually have a break in colour that is subtle though...but I enjoyed seeing this apartment😍

[@joannewells]

Beautiful!

[@seneiyacocoa2936]

I could feel at home there! so lovely!...then...booooks!

[@letagotladi7466]

Beautiful space ~~ sincerely hope the hair artwork is made of synthetic hair lol

[@lgizzy6335]

I like the curtain, I like the plants(not sure why he didn't talk about them), and the lights in the kitchen/bar. Very detailed 👌

[@setshegoledwaba8232]

So Top Billing...love it!

[@SJ-ze8qq]

Very masculine space. Loved it.

[@nkosanam1583]

Talk about living for yourself, not others. Lovely, practical yet cozy bachelor pad.

[@briana14333]

Nice space! I love the color scheme and ambiance. Camera work was kinda weird though; I feel like a lot of time was wasted watching him talk instead of showcasing what he was talking about.

[@nxtchpforme9154]

Love the hamper..real space.

[@MegaSindiswa]

This apartment is beyond elegant

[@KishaMichelle1]

Love this space so much.

[@KhatazaMbhombhi]

Amazing person and amazing place! Thank you for sharing!

[@pamelaqueen2669]

A beautiful place. The art work is very nice.

[@wildlifegardenssydney7492]

Wow, I loved every single well thought through element. Stunning taste and earthy style. I especially liked the intimacy created in your multifunctional spaces. The quiet coppery metallics pairing with the earthy rustic of the kitchen drinks section were a highlight for me. A tree top view, how lovely off the living room and the bedroom. The ethereal curtain and walkthrough and cosy seclusion AND double whammy cinema is simply awesome .

[@lwilliams7570]

LOVE IT!!! Beautiful! Nicely Done!

[@GalaletsangSeema]

Gosh😍😍😍😍 Everything has such a man-cave feel to it

[@altomokolo637]

Netflix and chill at this guy's house would be heaven, this guy can write a book about his home and makes me want leave house lol. I don't want to live here no more. 😆😆😆😅🤣😂

[@tripleceven]

Did Maps do the actual renovations by himself because these words he's using... rustic and what what

[@LwaziMgandela]

Lion OfJudah I remember watching the entire journey from his IG stories and he was so involved so he probably hand picked everything himself.

[@tripleceven]

@@LwaziMgandela That is some level of dedication and attention to detail i fear i don't posess
