The local modular club builds 2'x4' (mostly) with some 2x6, as well as odd sizes and bridges and duck-unders.
Modules are mostly built according to member "Railway Bob's" method:

You can alter this method to use 1/2" ply cut into strips, or to have the legs permanently attached, a narrower or wider size, etc, etc. For example, if you run across in front of the window, you might want to make a module that can easily be taken out to install winterizing film, and which will leave enough room for curtains to hang properly.
The photo gallery at <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.hotrak.ca">http://www.hotrak.ca</a><!-- m --> will show you what's possible in this sort of real estate. Of course if this is going to stay at home, then the standards to make them connect to any other module can be disregarded.
