Photo Gallery

We believe that photography is much more than just good lighting and staging. We want our photos to jump off the page and offer you, at a glance, insight into what the human experience is at ZO. We want to capture our kitchens as modern, but also as a home for your vegetables, and our living rooms as warm and sunbathed. We want to represent the spirit of Downtown Oakland from our windows, and from the streetscape. We are proud to refer to ourselves as Lake Merritt apartments, and want to illustrate what a walk is like around the lake and gardens. We’ve heard it said that every picture has a story to tell, and this is ours.

What's in a name? That which we call ZO. Like the building itself, ZO is a beautifully crisp and concise word that sparked a little tickle on our palates when we first conceived of it. Beyond that, “ZO” embodies a deeper multicultural context: In Japanese it means “uniquely different,” and in Greek, Zo is the root for “living being.”
