Plan a new building that looks like "Schinkel" or "Persius"

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...

Do you mean something like this? (Not my house)

Yes, it's bought immediately... :)

One should have talked again about the not quite maintained symmetry regarding the windows on the upper floor compared to the ground floor, but otherwise this is exactly the principle I mean. Even the mullioned windows combined with the shutters work wonders. You could also work with all kinds of details without overdoing it. I'm sure that people stop more often in front of this house and say: "Really something beautiful!" (but it could just as well be that people find something like that totally stupid)

By the way, the cornice is not just a pure optical gimmick, but energetically very sensible even today. These "spoilers" break up the air masses rising along the facade and slow down the cooling.

However, this does seem to be the case I would personally exclude, namely a new development area. But I realize that the plots are not just lying around on the street waiting to be picked up...

Inspired by your question, I looked for more buildings by him, since for financial reasons we will probably only be able to afford Schinkel lamps. I think his buildings are great, and if you can realize something in that style, that would be wonderful. Just as classical music is never in or out of fashion, classical buildings will never be either. Regardless of what is currently modern, being built, or published in architectural magazines.

Of course it's possible, apparently there are even architects who specialize in such projects (Ringlstetter). However, we are building a modern-looking house.
