Well, very early stage indeed. There's a lot of things to change, as the rooms look very cubic, the architecture doesn't really resemble a real-life warehouse. It's good to search for some pictures of warehouses and to play trough some HL2 levels again while taking screenshots, it can help you define the architecture and overall feel of this map.
<br>Lighting requires a lot of changes too, plus you should add some light fixtures, light doesn't come from nowhere.
<br>Those frames inside look really strange. Again, reference pictures can help here.
<br>
<br>It's obviously just a first try, so I wish you good luck on refining it.

Just because it can be big, must it?
<br>Spend some time,concentrate on quality, not mass.

Looks like it would be good with some light fixtures and less repetition in the textures. And if there was not so much empty space. I know you'll fill it, but it also doesnt look like a real warehouse. OOO And add some air vents EVERYONE LOVES AIR VENTS!!! Seriously, add some air vents... ones that go to secret rooms and stuff.

Try adding pillars to the interiors - it doesn't look right to have such large rooms with nothing supporting the ceiling.
