Canadian construction company Fraser & Partners plans to build a futuristic residential complex C6 in Australia with a height of 183 meters. It will be the world’s tallest concrete-reinforced hybrid structure capable of absorbing carbon.

The building will be constructed from a concrete core with timber columns, beams and floors made up of approximately 7,400 cubic meters of engineered laminated timber.

Fraser & Partners notes that the wood needed for construction can be grown from 580 seeds. The internal layout is oriented towards natural ventilation and will be distributed over 48 floors, most of which will be occupied by 245 apartments ranging in size from one to four bedrooms. There is a terrace with a garden on the roof.

Also included are a dining and entertainment area, communal amenities, a small plaza and a park. Around the residential complex, 3,500 square meters of greenery will be planted, including the creation of an urban farm that provides residents with seasonal products. The building is planned to be built in South Perth.

“C6 is the future of what is possible now. On-site power generation, a complete solution for electric vehicles that can completely eliminate the need for gasoline predecessors, also has a strong focus on biophilic design to provide tangible health benefits and is already silent on the fact that our building actively absorbs carbon,” says James. Dibble, director of Grange Development.

Fraser & Partners has already applied for a building permit for the C6, but no other information is yet available.
