Would a 52-50 Geometry Be weird?

Hello frame building experts,

I'm a shorter rider with a short upper torso. My current ride has a 50cm c2c seat tube and 52cm c2c top tube. I have always felt that I might benefit from a custom frame with a longer seat tube and shorter top tube as this would let me ride with a stem with a shorter stack height and shorter reach.

My question though is, would such geometry even be possible or practical for a road bike? I have noticed that typically bikes in my size usually have the top tube longer then the seat tube. What I had in mind was more of a 52cm seat tube and 50cm top tube.

Thanks for any help,
Jason
