My regular partner and I play a notrump structure which is referred to as continuous range. We play a 10-13 1NT nonvul in 1st or 2nd seat nonvul, 14+ - 17 otherwise.

When we play the mini NT, we open 1NT with 10-13, rebid 1NT with 14-17, and open 2NT with 18-20. Stronger balanced hands are opened 2♣.

When we play the strong NT, we rebid 1NT with 12-14, open 1NT with 14+ - 17, and open 2NT with 18-20. Again, stronger balanced hands are opened 2♣.

This frees up the 2NT rebid for a special holding, which we use for a strong hand with 6 in the suit opened and 3 card support for responder's major suit - the Bridge World death hand. So, on this hand, we would open 1♦ and rebid 2NT over 1♥.
