Team 4 was an architectural firm, established in 1963 by architecture graduates Su Rogers, Wendy Cheesman, Norman Foster and Richard Rogers. 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 Cheesman left after only a few months, leaving the remaining members to try to pass their professional exams while continuing to practise.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, Reliance Controls factory, Swindon, Jaffe House, which was Humphrey Spender's house, Maldon, Essex and Wates Housing, Coulsdon, Surrey, all in England.
By June 1967, Foster and Rogers had decided to dissolve the firm. The Rogerses established Richard and Su Rogers Architects and the Fosters established Foster Associates. 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.
