Netherlands' Photo Museum
Prior to the decision to move the Netherlands' Photo museum (Rotterdam) to a new location, Soda created for the current location Las Palmas a new layout for the entrance area, routing, exhibition spaces and ancillary functions. The motivation was the need for better orientation, visibility and wayfinding.

The Netherlands' Photo Museum preserves 175 archives. Together, these include 5.6 million negatives plus a large number of slides, prints and documents on the life and work of Dutch photographers such as Ed van der Elsken, Piet Zwart and Ata Kandó. The museum also collects amateur photography and manages archives like the archive of Hein Wertheimer, the founder of the museum. Thanks to the huge diversity of subjects, genres and applications, the collection consequently covers not only the history of Dutch photography, but also more than a century of Dutch history in photographs.
