World's Tallest Wooden Tower To Be Built In Australia
Handout artist’s impression of C6, a 191-metre building in Perth, Australia. Western Australia may soon be home to the world’s tallest wooden building, after authorities in Perth green-lit plans for a 191.2-meter-tall (627-foot) “hybrid” tower constructed using mass timber. If completed, the high-rise will surpass the world’s tallest timber-concrete hybrid building, the Ascent tower in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, which stands at 25 stories or 86 meters (284 feet), according to the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat. The proposed structure, located on Charles Street in South Perth, will also be taller than the forthcoming hybrid timber Atlassian Headquarters in Sydney, which is poised to claim the record from Ascent but is yet to be completed. Like Atlassian, the proposed C6 tower will combine laminated timber beams with a steel exoskeleton to support the the structure. Courtesy Grange Development via ABACAPRESS.COM
