The Opera House station  at the eastern shore of the proposed Dubai Creek Sixth Bridge will be the premier station on the green line extension linking the Dubai international Airport to new de- velopments to the south and east. The station is designed as an intermodal facility providing waiting and drop-off areas for bus and taxi transportation as well as an enclosed passageway to a ferry terminal to the west of the station.

The station  is  designed  with  a number of energy saving  mea- sures.    A  high  performance skin  adapts to  thermal  and visual performance requirements in real time throughout the course of a day.    Platforms  are provided  with  natural  daylight  to reduce lighting  loads  while  shading  devices  and openings  are oriented to reduce direct  solar  heat gain.   In addition,  the metro system is designed to use 5 cars with platform edge doors.   Edge doors allow  platform  enclosures  to be discrete  conditioned  volumes, leaving the area of the station above the train un-tempered.

The station  skin  will be lit  with  LED’s  that will transform as the metro trains move through the station.
