INTERIOR DESIGN

9 by Design : The Modern Nomads

By / 16 Apr 2010 @ 10:28 am

The self-taught architects and interior decorators started Sixx Design in 1995, a year after they bought their first New York City property in Chelsea, which was a total wreck…

They transformed the building into quite a masterpiece and sold it pretty quickly afterward. Though they claim to not be in the “house flipping” business, it seems that’s just what they do. There is a beauty to being so free-minded and unattached to your home/belongings, which definitely attributes or better yet defines their modernly nomadic lifestyle.

Here are images I have selected from all their various projects to see the range of design and the properties when they first acquired them. The show is quite fantastic, I kept asking myself, “how does she do it” ? 7 kids, nine months pregnant, and exploding with energy. I think I finally found a reality show that I can relate to. Watch the first episode below and let us know what you think.

    wait, they have 6 kids with one on the way which makes the family total 9. but whatever… i really didn’t want to like the show (seven kids? give me a break. no, really, TAKE A BIOLOGICAL BREAK), but the parents are surprisingly inspiring. i didn’t think it was even possible to be a self-taught architect, did you??? well, damn. you got some good shots of their work, like the basketball court.

    I am so very tiered of seeing interior design shows that are not professional designers! This gives the wrong impressions to TV viewers about what they could do. They lie about what things cost.The reality is there are teams of people putting it all together, professionally shooting a lighting the space to make it look better and bigger than it actually is.

    I love this show very much, it’s different besides those tv home designers. I cannot wait to watch it again. It’s one of the top show that i watched.

Our friends have been hyping “9 by Design”, a new reality series on Bravo, to us all week, so we decided to sit down last night and see what they were talking about. “9 by Design” is based on hip New York city couple Cortney and Robert Novogratz’s life, juggling 6 kids (and another on the way) and continuously buying, renovating, and moving into new properties within a 5 mi. radius of downtown NYC.
