‘House Project’ was organised by Eric Leroux at Salon Natasha in October 1996, when Vu Dan Tan and Natasha Kraevskaia were away for Tan’s participation in The 2nd Asia Pacific Triennale of Contemporary Art (APT2) at Queensland Art gallery, Brisbane, Australia. 
Leroux’s idea for this exhibition came from the coincidental fact that many houses of Hanoi artists had undergone construction in 1996. Participating artists would produce and display works that coincided with the project, while some other works responded implicitly to the theme.
The exhibition showcased works by Bu Dan Tan, Mai Chi Thanh, Bui Viet Dung, Truong Tan, Tran Nguyen Hieu, Eric Leroux, Bui Huu Hung, Le Hong Thai, Maritta Nurmi, Le Tuan Anh, Tran Thieu Quang, Nguyen Van Cuong,  Do Minh Tam, Nguyen Minh Thanh and Chantal Roman Vals.
