设计团队完成了对北京一户集体公寓的经济型改造试点。这栋始建于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，为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，是新中国建国后城市民用建筑的普遍格局。
这栋建筑自从1950年代以来就开始自由地变化生长，跟随着这里的住户和时代的变迁而不断变化着，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芽，这些都是生活和时代给这座建筑留下的痕迹。曾经这里居住着中国建筑材料科学研究院的家属，但如今这里的住户混合了没有条件搬走的老住户以及一些附近的大学生。居住的人主要是因为这座公寓在城市中的价格相对便宜，但是它年久失修，缺少吸引力和新生活力。本建筑尺度较小，当时的外部规划又留下了很大绿地空间，和如今现代化的北京高层建筑形成了鲜明对比。这里也反倒是留下了一些“有温度”的生活景象，例如一些为自家门前花园盆栽浇水的老人们的身影。
为打破旧格局，营造现代化宜居功能，设计师必须在狭小空间通过巧妙构思，设计出兼具卧室，客厅、餐厅和干湿两用卫生间，既要有老房的年代感，又不乏现代化宜居享受。我们认为，对于城市中的小型公寓来讲多元化和个性化才是未来，否则一切都将以中性的毫无生气的形态存在，和笼子中的母鸡没有区别。建筑师首先清空一切不必要元素，拆除中间的老墙，打破旧有的均质化网格格局，在小小的公寓中嵌入几个“小盒子”，使得公寓在相对开放式的空间中实现不同的功能。
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.
Built in 1950s, 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.
Therefore, the architect had to create a pattern with a bedroom, a living room, a dining room, and a toilet to make the apartment more private, functional, and livable.
