Series Overview: 9 By Design
9 By Design is an American reality television series on Bravo. The show originally premiered on April 13, 2010, and ran for one season with a total of eight episodes. The show follows the lives of Robert Novogratz and Cortney Novogratz.
The married couple work as a design team that focuses on redeveloping and redesigning properties in New York. Many of the projects are large-scale production projects. Generally, their approach is to purchase a run-down property, renovate it, live in it for a while, sell it, and then move on to the next property. The show focuses on how the couple manages large-scale projects and a large family, somehow making it all work.
What makes them “9 by Design”, is that the couple has seven children, including two sets of twins (Wolfgang, Bellamy, Tallulah, Breaker, Five, and Holleder). At the end of the show, Cortney goes into labor with the seventh child, named Major. Hey, with seven children, you have to get creative with the names.
