From the github 'SerenityOS is a love letter to '90s user interfaces with a custom Unix-like core. It flatters with sincerity by stealing beautiful ideas from various other systems.'

The video in the link, Andreas mentions that its all from scratch.

It's all built from scratch, but it is clearly influenced by other systems in terms of design.
