Georgie Wolton

Georgie Wolton (née Cheesman; February 1934[1] – 25 August 2021) was a British architect, an original member of the architecture firm Team 4.

[4] Together with her younger sister, Wendy, she was a founding member in 1963 of the architectural firm, Team 4, together with Su Brumwell, Norman Foster and Richard Rogers.

[3] Wolton went on to practise on her own, her most well known works being Cliff Road Studios in Lower Holloway, London, and The River Cafe garden in Hammersmith.

[3] The combined house and studio, built in 1975–76, was awarded Grade II listed status in October 2023 by Historic England, who described it as "meticulously conceived" and "creatively integrate[d] into its sensitive urban setting" and praised the "subtle handling of spatial proportion and natural light" inside.

[8] Meades suggests Wolton was "at the head of the very earliest vanguard of that tendency... that tirelessly reworks the forms of early modernism to the point where they are hardly distinguishable from their models.
