I'm having some trouble with the following sentence:

> 一部屋一部屋が大きいのだろう、部屋のドアの間隔が広かった。

What's the meaning of the double "一部屋"? I think it's supposed to be each/every
room, but I'm not sure. Also, is it read as "ひとへやひとへや"?

一部屋一部屋 Meaning and reading
一部屋一部屋 is read as ひとへやひとへや, and means "each one of the rooms". Here 部屋 is used
as the counter for rooms (一部屋【ひとへや】, 二部屋【ふたへや】, 三部屋【さんへや】/三部屋【みへや】, ...).

Generally, yes, this is a pattern that means "each ～" or "every ～".

>   * このプロジェクトではひとりひとりが重要だ。

>   * 彼の一言一言【ひとことひとこと】が気に障る。  
>  Every word of his annoys me.
>   * ひとつひとつ見ていきましょう。  
>  Let's take a look at them one by one.
