Good day,
This is my first attempt to publicly address this topic, which may seem somewhat quirky to many. I hope that by choosing this forum, I have found a suitable place to present my concern. However, if I have chosen a completely wrong place for my concern, I would appreciate suggestions on where this topic should best be addressed and otherwise apologize for the inconvenience.
Before I go into more detail about my concern, I would like to mention that I myself am a still quite young partner of a small GbR at 24 years old and by no means have elaborate plans for my dream yet, but I am slowly reaching an age where I want to inform myself more precisely about the realistic possibilities and therefore decided to use this forum. So I am certainly both financially and in terms of planning still far from my dream, and this inquiry is purely for exploration, to find out who to best contact in such a case and where the limits of what is possible lie. But to really start:
For many years now, I have been fascinated by ancient architecture, whether based on virtual reconstructions, still existing buildings such as the Pantheon in Rome, or the Maison Carrée in Nimes etc., or neoclassical replicas like La Madeleine in Paris etc. Certainly, there are many other styles that also have their charm, but I have always wondered why so little is actually built nowadays in that style. In any case, early on the dream arose in me to one day enable my own residential house in the classical Roman style at some point in my life.
It is important to me that it is really made from noble materials (Corinthian columns, frescoes, marble floors, mosaics, sculptures, etc.) as was/is the case with the ancient models, and, if possible, has as authentic, contemporary design as possible, while of course being adapted to modern life. Despite all the splendor, I expect to keep it as modest and small as possible, since I could certainly never afford a large villa and therefore want to keep it on as realistic a scale as possible. I would already be satisfied with a small building as a life goal; a size that still allows a small atrium with an inspiring garden would be nice.
My actual questions are now: To what extent is something like this realistically feasible today? And if it is, whom should one contact to undertake such a project? I would really appreciate any advice I can get, as I have been researching on and off for several years now but feel like I am going nowhere.
I thank you in advance for any small assistance you can provide! I am happy to answer any further questions.
