Super Ju-Nel is a coveted designation for the homes that exhibit quintessential Ju-Nel characteristics and a high level of as built originality.
These are the finest examples of Ju-Nel design. They have been meticulously cared for and their stewards have done well to preserve the most important hallmarks. These homes should theoretically carry a higher level of desirability and valuation.
What is the best way to share the list of 48 re-discovered Ju-Nel homes? I believe a pre-planned release of each Mid-Mentury Modern home creates awareness, excitement and energy for the home. To that end, I am working on a release schedule that moves the re-discovered homes into the mainstream at a pace which honors each home while not taking years to get it done.
Re-Discovered Homes include works filed by Ju-Nel, as well as individual works by both Jack Wilson and Lyle Rowley.

...But then how does one account for Wright and his place in the Modernism discussion? If you visualize the path of Gropius and his Bauhaus school modernism against the path of Wright and his belief that Nature was sacred (capitalize the N like you would the G for God), you can feel the dissimilarity of the two ideals. Wright's design philosophy of ‘organic architecture’ (heavily influenced by Sullivan) proposed that built environments should accommodate the natural world in service of a greater whole...while we see the European style (i.e Gropius, Mies and Corbusier) with an emphasis on volume, asymmetrical compositions, and minimal ornamentation.

For architect designed & built homes, it is customary to name the home after the client who commissioned the work, or the first owner. You will see most Ju-Nel homes now have a name (some are not yet identified). Pictured is Hazael Williams Beckett who built the only Ju-Nel in Sunnyvale. The work is now referred to as 'Beckett House at New Hope Farm'. Mrs. Beckett (1911 - 2006) was well known in Dallas; an excerpt from her obituary:
After her husband died in 1956, Hazael returned to the rural area she had loved as a child. She built a home on a farm she inherited from her maternal grandfather, H.O. Samuell, in New Hope, Texas (now Sunnyvale). There she hosted many meetings for non-profit organizations and church groups sometimes serving vegetables she had grown in her large garden. Hazael also began to write her autobiography, Growing Up In Dallas, which she published in 1985.
