This picture can’t tell the complete story.

But this is does not look like a mistake.

I would assume this is an old structure undergoing a makeover and the contractor believes knocking down the existing stairs will weaken the the structural integrity of the building and so prefers this design that looks like attempt to retain structural stability.

It’s also possible that the under stairs will get knocked down later.

So this photograph can’t make for an informed opinion.
