Can 中型 be used to describe a room or building?


Can 中型 be used to describe the size of a room or building?




The kanji 型 ("type") implies there is some objective criterion that determines
whether something is 小型, 中型, or 大型. Saying 中型の部屋 or 中型の建造物 according to some
criterion/law is okay. For example,
[中型自動車](https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E4%B8%AD%E5%9E%8B%E8%87%AA%E5%8B%95%E8%BB%8A)
has a strict definition in Japanese law.

If you want to _subjectively_ say something is middle-sized, it's better to
say 中くらいの大きさの～, 普通の大きさの～, 大きくも小さくもない～, etc.
