The house now referred to as "Elevado de Castillo", was merely 1515 Elevado, LA 90026, when Guy and Karen Vidal stumbled onto it in Feb of 2006. A severely neglected Spanish four-plex built in 1925, most of its outer walls had separated from the structure, and many of the framing members had become so rotted, they could be broken apart with bare hands. Inside water damage destroyed ceilings, walls, floors and most fixtures and counters. None of the systems were working. The building was considered for demolition by everyone who considered buying it... that is everyone except the Vidals.

Elevado de Castillo is a modern interpretation of artistic traditions ranging from Morocco and Moorish Spain to India and Polynesia. It is virtually a hand-made house, with attention to artistic detail that is rarely found in building projects today.
