Good day!
Are there people here who have realized a house project where they followed the approach of doing everything as it was done in Schinkel’s times? I am talking about a house with today’s technical and energy-related features, but visually everything is done like the old master or one of his pupils. In the end, the house is technically state-of-the-art but looks as if it has been standing there for about 200 years. Of course, such a building must be located in a suitable place and not in a sterile new development area, so let’s leave the question of the plot aside. Of course, I also assume that it complies with any possible textual stipulations of a development plan.
But the question is: Does one do something like this? Is that appropriate? Or is it a "no-go"? There are, of course, historicizing approaches realized by today’s architecture firms, but I mean a 1:1 model of a building that actually could have been created back then.
Technically, it should not be a problem to implement something like this with good craftsmen who specialize in the restoration of such buildings, for example, regarding the plaster facade with decorations or the windows. One would also have the possibility to work with a shallow-pitched gable roof where photovoltaics can even be integrated, which are hardly visible from below.
I would simply find such a project "cool," but I don’t know if one inadvertently violates some kind of ethos or an unwritten architectural law...
And to say one thing very clearly right away: I am very glad to live in the Federal Republic of Germany in the year 2022. Just so there are no misunderstandings...
