SWEET SPOT

Denver ice-cream mogul Paul Tamburello likes circles. After all, ice-cream-machine paddles trace the endless form, and scoops of the cold treat rest sphere-like in (round) bowls. That’s why, wanted the shape to make appearances throughout his company’s new Sloan’s Lake headquarters, a Willy-Wonka-Chocolate-Factory-esque space that opened this summer. “When a child spins in a circle, she’s lost in space and time,” Tamburello says. “We want the kids in all of us to be wide-eyed by the possibility of life when they enter.”
