A local art enthusiast late M Hassan began the construction of Lamakaan as a residential building in 1972. After he died in 2010, his nephew Ashhar Farhan and his wife Humera along with friends – film producer and actor Elahe Hiptoola and activist Biju Mathew turned it into the iconic cultural space we know it as today.

In its 11 years of existence, Lamakaan has turned into a favourite among city folk who often come here for plays, film screenings, and art exhibitions.
