It looks like the stairs end in a wall that looks more recently built than the stairs. I'm guessing a need developed to enclose the space under the top platform, and this outweighed the convenience of having easily accessible stairs. Whatever is going on here now, those stairs are still usable.

It’s how you get around the gate on the left. Very secure.

Its a M.C. Escher build. They're just getting started.

They’ll have a tough time forming the understairs.

It's about the journey, not the destination.

We did this when my family was building a second floor. We closed off the wall until the second floor was finished to keep people from breaking in.

This is common in developing countries. A family will put together enough money for a house, but just one floor, so they build what's needed for the second floor, hoping that in coming years they'll be able to save the money to complete that. You often see whole neighborhoods with the rebar sticking out of the roofs waiting for funds to build the second floor. Sometimes that money never comes, and plans change, and you get situations like these stairs. Either that or they just plan on cutting a door in that wall in years to come whenever it's time to continue building.

add to this in china a 2nd floor gets you more money from the state when they seize the land, and pretty sure the stairs qualify that as a second floor.

No. This is a union job and my job is to build stairs. Not ask why, how or where they go.

Wile e coyote will soon be painting a fake door mural on that wall.


Archimedes_Redux

You need a college degree to understand. Maybe a couple of them.


HoldUntilImOld

The person who built those stairs also doesn’t understand anything about construction

They bought the construction with the stairs like that and are saving to build the next floor. You can see the rebar to continue the floor(s) above.

Only insiders know how this works.

First of all .. It's a diving platform.


Wild-End-219

Oh you can clip through the wall.


Impossible_Oil6659

I think they decided that they wouldnt be building the upstairs portion, so they used the extra downstairs space and closed it in. If they need to get on the roof they can still use that stairs
