Scope
The iconic design of Ferrari World Theme Park was designed by Benoy Architects. It is modeled after
the side profile of a Ferrari GT by Ramboll. The project has set benchmarks of structural engineering,
master planning and urban design, geotechnical engineering and the façade engineering in region.
RAK Ceramics supplied stunning Technocroma series which is a mix of vibrant, elegant and exciting
shades. With satin finish, 13 mm thick Technocroma has less than 0.5% water absorption which
guarantees long‐term durability. Its micro chamfered edges allowed a consistent grouting when it

striking effect. Its satin finish surfaces with polish effect ensured that the sophisticated look would
withstand heavy visitor traffic.
