Quote from KoKo5oVaRerhhh! i just wanted to make a map without those eyecandys for once.
Well, i'll try.
You might as well just drop the fancy architecture as well then, and just go for a killbox. Adding a glow sprite here and there in a window won't hurt, I'm sure. 
I love the brushwork, hate the lighting. In my most humble opinion, it's just the wrong color. Light is hardly ever orangish brown or whatever. I think that with a few small changes it could be awesome. Besides that, the hl2 textures are awesome, extremely well made, but already overused.
How about a happy medium?
Both look great. Its entirely dependant on the atmosphere you want to achieve really. First shot looks like sunset/sunrise with the sun beaming straight in through the windows, while the second looks more like general exterior brightness coming in. I do think that the extreme orange saturation is a bit more cliched than the natural look, but I don't know if that should really play a part in your decision or not. One thing that you might want to consider is that candles or torches would be a fitting man-made lighting approach for this theme, and orange lighting is probably goin to be used for those, so it might be a bit of orange overdose if you use the first environmental lighting.
My final comment is that the first shot made me think "Vagrant Story", while the second made me think "Tomb Raider 4". Make of that what you will I guess, as I'll be damned if I know what I mean 
fucking be colorful mate. The orange just screams atmosphere in my opinion. I'm tired of seeing drab ww2 levels and shit like that. color4lyfe
what a english beat down.. anyways, I kinda like the orange look, nice brushwork as well.
