    Career[edit]

    Creek Vean, Feock, Cornwall

    Team 4 was an architectural firm, established in 1963 by architecture graduates Su


    Rogers (née Brumwell), Wendy Cheesman, Norman Foster and Richard Rogers.[5]
    [6]
     The firm originally included Wendy Cheesman's sister Georgie Wolton who, as the
    only qualified architect of the group, allowed the practice to function. Georgie
    Cheeseman left after only a few months, leaving the remaining members to try to
    pass their professional exams while continuing to practice. [5]
    The notable buildings that she worked on while at Team 4, includes the first ever
    house to win a RIBA award - Creek Vean House, Feock, Cornwall, England (1966),
    Reliance Controls factory, Swindon (1967), Jaffe House (also known as Skybreak
    House), which was Humphrey Spender's house, Maldon, Essex (1965-1966) and
    Wates Housing, Coulsdon, Surrey (1965), all in England.[7]
    By June 1967, Foster and Rogers, had both decided to dissolve the firm. [8][9] The
    Rogers' (Richard Rogers and Su Rogers) established Richard and Su Rogers
    Architects and the Fosters (Norman Foster and Wendy Foster, née Cheesman),
    [6]
     established Foster Associates.[6] The notable buildings that Wendy Foster was
    involved in include Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts, Willis Faber and Dumas
    building, and the HSBC Building in Hong Kong.

    Private life[edit]
    Wendy Cheesman was the former girlfriend of Richard Rogers. She went on to
    marry Norman Foster in 1964.[10][6] Wendy Foster died of cancer in 1989, when she
    was still a partner/director at Foster Associates. [4][3]
