Framing the View: Floor-to-Ceiling Windows

More than just a design feature, floor-to-ceiling windows at Atlas are an immersive experience. Spanning four distinct residential tiers—Gallery, Elevation, Collection, and Penthouse—each apartment grouping offers its own unique perspective of the city and beyond.
Collection (Floors 30–37): Lake Merritt and Skyline in Full Panorama
Our Collection level offers some of the highest vantage points in the building. The window design—narrow-framed glass panels with integrated vertical mullions—maximizes visibility while maintaining a sleek, contemporary look. Depending your orientation, you might enjoy a vista Lake Merritt and its surrounding neighborhoods, or perhaps the San Francisco skyline on the horizon. Other oversized windows frame the dramatic sweep of Oakland’s rooftop and the East Bay hills. Finishes at this level include cool Piatra-grey countertops, Bosch and Fisher & Paykel appliances, and a subtle color palette that complements the high-rise views.
Elevation (Floors 11–29): Framing the Urban Core
The Elevation residences sit just below the Collection, but the views are no less striking. You might capture a dramatic look at the iconic Cathedral Building or Tribune Towner, along with glimpses of the Bay Bridge, Port of Oakland, or perhaps a view of downtown stretching all the way to the waterfront. Floor-to-ceiling windows are carefully positioned to frame historic and modern architecture alike, giving residents a front-row seat to the evolving cityscape. Inside, the finishes feel light and bright: pure white quartz countertops, light wood cabinetry, and matching light-tone flooring reflect the sun and city colors pouring in through the glass.
Gallery (Floors 2–10): Framing Neighborhood Character
Lower in elevation but rich in atmosphere, the Gallery apartments celebrate city living with a closer, more intimate vantage point. The floor-to-ceiling windows open onto views of classic downtown Oakland buildings, tree-lined streets, and the architectural mix that defines the area. The windows here still bring in an abundance of daylight, which is amplified by San Diego oak flooring and a bright white quartz palette. From the bedroom and dining spaces, you can spot Frank H. Ogawa Plaza, and other civic landmarks while enjoying the quieter hum of the neighborhood from a comfortable distance above street level.
Penthouse Level
Perched on the 38th through 40th floors, Penthouse residences at Atlas deliver panoramic views that stretch across the Bay Area in nearly every direction. The floor-to-ceiling glass reveals a stunning sweep of San Francisco Bay, with the city skyline visible in the distance, flanked by the rolling hills of Oakland and the high-rises of downtown just below. Depending on the orientation, some residences offer a direct look at Lake Merritt, others frame the Port of Oakland, the Bay Bridge, and the Berkeley Hills beyond. The uninterrupted sightlines and sheer height combine to create a true aerial perspective over the city.
Inside, chevron-patterned wood flooring, sleek stone countertops, deep blue custom cabinetry, and built-in smart home features set a refined tone, while integrated wine fridges add a touch of luxury. But it’s the natural light and open sky pouring in through the floor-to-ceiling glass that defines the penthouse experience.
