I've finally made some decisions regarding the siding. I'm planning to use flat sheets of corten weathering steel. The following picture shows what it will look like once it's weathered:
The above picture shows the double 2x4 frames around the window openings, which will be flush with the foam, for the siding attachment.
So we're installing felt paper on the plywood followed by 3" of Expanded Polystyrene Rigid Foam insulation, then covering the foam with wrapshield by Vaproshield. The steel siding will be installed on wood furring strips, creating a rainscreen. The wrapshield will act as a breathable water resistant membrane.

Finally an update!
How much are people using the rainscreen system down south?
I haven't seen many rainscreens. But, I haven't seen many corten sided houses with open joints. Most are lap siding. The one house with corten sheets is installed on a rainscreen.
