Interior designer Mariette Himes Gomez and architect Oscar Shamamian together handled the conversion of two separate apartments into a single, unified whole for a Manhattan family. The resulting 5,000-square-foot duplex penthouse's entrance hall has a circa 1820 cherrywood center table and a circa 1830 French mahogany fauteuil, both from Lee Calicchio. Chair fabric, Rogers Goffigon.

From above the dining room's circa 1825 sideboard, from Lee Calicchio, Ellsworth Kelly's 18 Colors Cincinnati, 1982, draws the eye past a space-maximizing round table that accommodates eight chairs, each with a Cowtan Tout fabric. Adorning the windows is a sage drapery fabric from Robert Allen.

In the living room, where the designer hung Cy Twombly prints, the carpet is a late-19th-century Tabriz, from Darius. The sofa and the two armchairs facing it are from George Smith and have Brunschwig Fils fabrics. Circa 1825 demilune console table, Iliad Antik. Drapery sheer, Rogers Goffigon.

The kitchen leaves room for a table that, with four chairs and a banquette, encourages family gatherings. The effectiveness of the floating cabinet above the island is owed to its glass-paned doors, which allow the room's bright and open feel to go largely uninterrupted. Cowtan Tout fabrics. Waterworks faucets.

By the study's fireplace, Gomez placed an Art Déco bergère. Like the table lamps, it is from Karl Kemp.

Gomez and Shamamian's concept for the entertainment space of the plank-surfaced roof terrace includes a perimeter container garden and, beneath the soon-to-be-vine-draped wood trellis, an all-weather teak table and chairs, from Kingsley-Bate.
