Owned this house for 1 year now, it was supposedly built around 2017. We are the second owners besides the construction company that built it. There are no documents or photos at all of how they did it, so I'm asking here. I want to know where the air enters the air gap behind the panel? There is a horizontal nailer behind the bottom facade board, so it’s tight there. Could they have intended for it to "breathe" through the gaps where the facade meets the corner board?
 
  • Close-up of a house exterior showing white siding above and a dark foundation below, with focus on air gap at the junction for ventilation inquiry.
  • Close-up of a house facade corner showing the joint between white wooden boards and black wall, highlighting potential ventilation gaps.
  • Close-up of house soffit with black gutter, white siding, and hanging chain, questioning airflow and breathability behind the panel.
  • Close-up of grey house facade with visible gap near corner board, questioning airflow entry into the ventilation gap behind the cladding.
  • White house exterior with siding details, black gutter, and roof eaves visible, raising questions about air ventilation behind the panels.
  • Close-up of house siding showing a gap between white panels and corner trim, possibly for ventilation.
The normal is vertical nail battens and a mouse band at the bottom.

I don't want to categorically claim that it's built incorrectly, but it doesn't look right.
