诺亿设计研发（ROOI Design and Research）最近完成了对北京一户二十世纪五十年代集体公寓的经济型改造试点。始建于1953年的三层老公寓最早只是给科研单位的家属楼，曾经象征着“现代化”理想的住宅群，这是一栋典型的砖混结构体系建筑，每一户50平方米的室内空间有着均质化的格局，千篇一律，受当时的观念和条件限制，居室无客厅餐厅和洗浴功能，这是中国战后城市民用建筑的普遍格局。

Chinese homes have changed dramatically in size, scope, and design in the past few decades; conducted by ROOI Design and Research firm, apartment T101 is one example of an outstanding Chinese renovation project. Initially designed to be a family dormitory for a research institution, the architectural style of the building is a typical brick-concrete structure with an interior space of 50 square meters per household. The interior spaces share the same layout, dictated by the conditions at that time, where China was still recovering from years of conflict and faced an influx of people coming to cities. There was no living room, no dining room, or shower in each household. This type of layout represents the standard post-war Chinese apartment.

这栋建筑自从1950年代以来就开始自由的变化生长，跟随着这里的住户和时代的变迁不断变化着，无论从内部还是外部，看起来都与其刚刚建造时候有着大不同，但本质又没有变，就好像在潮湿环境中放久的土豆，不断发出新的芽，这些都是生活和时代给这座建筑留下的痕迹。

Built in 1950, this three-story post-war building witnessed history and was set to decline inevitably. In this case, the facility failed to adapt to the new nearby era despite its favorable price advantage. Therefore, this project’s core was to find a way to adjust the old collective residence into modern city life and retain its previous structure, recovering the degraded green areas.
