Serie Architects’ five-storey housing block aims to redefine communal living in Woodberry Down, integrating extensive greenery at every level

Serie Architects has received planning approval for a five-storey residential block in Woodberry Down, near Manor House Underground Station in north London.

The scheme is inspired by the art deco housing blocks that define the area. It will also have extensive planting throughout, providing residents with access to greenery from the entrance to individual units.

The block’s design incorporates larger-than-standard unit layouts, exceeding the London Housing Design Guide by 28%, including seven triple-aspect units, one quadruple-aspect unit, and one double-aspect unit.
