Judging by the reuploading system in http://tf2maps.net/threads/tf2maps-net-new-site-information-mega-thread.25464/, the credit ought to be reassigned to the original creator after those steps right?
Think about how your utilities are integrating into the material. To install a manhole where you've put it, you would have to individually cut the circle into each stone of the floor. To ease construction, the circle would probably be cut into a single, larger block of stone (or concrete, which is a surprisingly old building material). (EDIT: As it turns out, this actually does happen! However, small bricks like this are easier to cut on-site than large stones.)
The metal fusebox would also be difficult to attach to a stone wall as you have it now. Metal is typically attached to things via welding (I doubt you can weld stuff to stone) or with bolts (difficult to integrate into stone, although I imagine that it's entirely possible, especially if you line the bolts up with the mortar between each masonry unit).
Judging by the garage sign, I'm assuming this little alcove is for parking a car. In that case, the floor here should probably be much more solid. Things made of a lot of pieces (i.e. almost any kind of masonry), regardless of how well they're attached together, aren't great at resisting large loads over an extended period of time. (See the EDIT picture again, and note how much the ground has fallen apart. This is a pedestrian-only area, too!)
While you could "solve" this by making the floor concrete, I would suggest reprogramming the space - that is, remove the garage sign. This space appears to be a public walkway (which would make a lot of sense, since it provides shade in an otherwise miserably hot climate), and could also function as the entry to the building's private space above.
This is a relatively in-depth analysis of what you're making as just an SFM setpiece, but anything is worth considering if it means learning more. Don't feel pressured to solve every flaw you find; what matters most is just being aware.

I dunno, never done something like this before. But since the download link doesn't work, I feel I should ask for permission before rehosting it either way.
I feel that this is a special case because the assets were never given a proper download thread on the old site. It would be best to ask permission before creating a new download that didn't exist before.
She kindly gave me permission to rehost and post the download. Here we are: http://tf2maps.net/downloads/whark-arabian-market-props.1359/
Thank you. The tunnel under the building is supposed to be a passage route. Not really a car area since its not big and two cars would not fit there. The area in general is supposed to be a park. in middle of the city. I will add more to that tunnel later. Its supposed to be bit like this from de_dust.
Is that an old mexico themed area? That looks awesomePueblo revival intel yard for the detailing mini-contest.
Looks like you don't have a tonemap controller (or if you do have one, its settings are outta wack), I'd suggest implementing one. Even ripping the setup from 2fort would be good enough. You need a logic_auto to drive it, however, but with some quick research you can probably figure it out.
This look is very reminiscent of TFC. I like it.Pueblo revival intel yard for the detailing mini-contest.

May not be the easiest stuff to get an impression from eyeballing, but did some cp_Dame work.
New spawn area:
New connector for 2nd spawn to the control point area.
Revitalizing other areas is definitely taking some time, but hopefully should be able to get a new version for testing eventually.

Mate, that looks fokn awesome. It fits TF2 brilliantly.For the 2016 detailing contest. I have a bad feeling, I will loose.
I do see a lot of blue reflections though. Give your cubemaps a visit, and see if the models are taking the proper cubemap. Another thing: be consistent with your lamp models. I see floor lights and fluorescent lights on the same ceiling.
