chmod 775 on a folder but not all files under that folder

Solution 1
Remove the -R
flag. That means it changes all files and folders in the subdirectory as well.
# chown root:user1 /var/www/project/
# chmod 775 /var/www/project/
Solution 2
Yes : -R means recursive. Remove -R

by assigning 775 rights of user to a folder (project) does that impact the files permissions under the folder?
# chown -R root:user1 /var/www/project/ # chmod 775 -R /var/www/project/
Meaning, if
/project/config.html
used to have a 664 right does that mean that 664 right disappears and grants 775? How to avoid this to happen? There are files and folders with different rights under/project/
and I do not want these to be overridden.
