Zen Compound LLC Information

In 2004, Paul Hemming was tired of the traditionally wasteful nature of the hospitality industry. Owner and founder of the Zen Compound, Paul set his sights on creating the Greenest nightclub in the world. The result: Hemming created the foundation for a living, breathing hub for education, culture and creative recreation that strictly adheres to the triple bottom line of People, Planet and Profit. Housed inside the Zen Compound lies Temple Nightclub, which is a Green nightclub and Ki Sushi, which is a sustainable sushi and Izakaya bar. Paul Hemming brings a vision to the Zen Compound that focuses on revolutionizing the nightclub and hospitality industry by “Greening” them—entities that were not related concepts in the past. The Zen Compound is an entertainment complex, with its finger on society's pulse, and designed to go well beyond a traditional nightclub and world-class restaurant. More than a place for people to unwind and stimulate their senses, the Zen Compound is a hub of creative spirituality – exactly as the name suggests. Visitors to the Compound create and perform art, music and dance while they are enriching their Western experience with an Eastern education. The Zen Compound merges modern design with antiquities dating back to the 11th Century and ancient philosophy with cutting-edge technology. In addition, it houses a culinary, visual and audio spectacle while cultivating the first pioneering program for nightclub sustainability in the United States.
