The building
Centro Apartments started life as Gypsum House, an eleven-storey office building completed in 1968 to a design by the architecture firm Bogle & Banfield & Associates. Its concrete front is made up of repeating window panels with rounded corners. The offices were refurbished and converted into apartments in 1994.
