Construction with counter-laminated timber (CLT) boards has substantial capacities in prefabrication and environmental performance, as it has begun to apply to some buildings. This work analyzes the conditions of architectural modulation in small CLT-constructions, in order to determine the design strategies and production standardization that an impell its use. First, productive characteristics, and then architectural dimensions of an international sample of cases are reviewed, identifying convergences in the magnitudes and ordinances, as well as a significant versatility of design and spatial expression. These properties reveal the possibility of focusing on the production in the dimensions and configurations more used, to facilitate its elaboration and implementation, as well as to diversify architectural arrangements to disseminate this constructive technology.
