Not the original shooter so I'm just guessing but I'd do it by putting
each image in a separate layer and then use a layer mask to hide the
parts you don't want in the top layer. With the shot of the door I
suspect that he didn't completely mask out the brighter walls but left
them slightly transparent since they're a bit brighter than in the
dark shot. Either that or he played with the levels a bit.

I agree. But I think it does need an intermediate exposure. The
darkest shot would be for the sky, the middle shot for the window
passage and the lightest shot for the walls. To me, the sky also looks
a bit dark but that could be because of the unnatural look from the
window passage being brighter.
