Every building is of a type, and this type  preferably goes into the building value. IMHO we should go more local with building typology, if you're in Berlin you would for example want to distinguish a "Mietskaserne" (roughly tenement) from a "Gründerzeit Blockbebauung" (19th and pre-WW 20th century perimeter developments), where the first are a kind of residential building, while the latter could be also offices and shops). The fact that there are different usages on different levels can be expressed with 3d tagging (indicating the levels or groups of levels on their own), or in simple cases with nodes for shops, hotels etc. inside the building way.

cheers,
Martin
