Sam Stephenson is principally remembered for the Central Bank project. He won a design competition for Wood Quay in which he designed a four block structure. However the funding situation during the 1980’s prevented it’s completion.

Scott Tallon Walker designed the newer Blocks 3&4 on which they did a fine job.

Sam Stephenson also designed a Library on Burlington Rd and Moleneaux house on Bride St amongst other projects.

He gets all the blame for Wood Quay, which I think is a little unfair as something would have been built anyway. He was scathing in a Sunday Tribune article in 1986 at the way the cost managers kept cutting corners and he was fuming about how little the final (1986) scheme resembled his original design.
