I had a small project building a garage with charred cedar siding and it is for experimenting of using charred cedar. I'm interested to know the wall construction with this material for creating good insulation and modern look.
Charred wood or carbonized wood siding, also known as Shou Sugi Ban, is a a matter of slightly charring the outside surface of the wood. See our page here that explains better
Shou sugi Ban carbonized wood siding
There is no specific wall assembly that is necessary for installing Shou Sugi ban wood, it behaves just as other forms of exterior cladding. So what is important is that you don’t fall into some of the easy traps that a lot of builders seem to do, that leads to an unnecessarily shortened lifespan of siding, which can also cause interior wall damage.
Exterior siding is basically a rain screen, and it protects the interior surfaces (like your home wrap weather barrier from UV rays. The most common mistake with siding installation is preventing air flow and having a proper drainage plane where any moisture that does make it in can safely be drained out.
根据壁板的风格-可以是垂直的像板和板条，或水平的像隔板壁板-有时带子(或毛皮条)安装不好。确保水能从底部流出，让空气从底部自由流动，从顶部流出。Here is a page that will help you design it onHow to Install Siding so Walls Can Dry.
