Melbourne developer James Dibble is hoping to build the world’s tallest hybrid timber building in South Perth after submitting plans for a 183-metre apartment tower that would be three metres higher than Atlassian’s new Sydney headquarters.  Known as C6, the $350 million Elenberg Fraser-designed project at 6 Charles Street, near the Perth Zoo, will include about 7400 cubic metres of timber in its construction – 42 per cent of its total structure – plus steel, concrete and other materials.  If it is approved by the City of South Perth, C6 will be Australia’s second carbon-negative building after the Atlassian tower, meaning it will remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere rather than adding it. …“Timber as a building material has been around for centuries, but only recently has mass timber construction and fabrication methods made it a viable option en masse,” Mr Dibble said.
