“Six years ago, I met Colin Zammit, by chance, carrying the keys to my very first site. All before him had told me this is a failed project. We were strangers, yet welcomed me like family – giving his time, wisdom and undivided attention, expecting nothing in return. The project was a success; Colin made sure of it. Colin is more than an architect; he is a problem solver and a dream builder.

Today, alongside his son Caden, he has made another bold investment – not just in brick and stone, but in innovation, systems and designs, reminding us that even the seasoned professionals need to adapt and forecast tests of architectural art, to define the standard, pioneer innovation and drive the future.

At Maniera, this drive is not simply in the tools and infrastructure, but also at the helm, and the team; more than colleagues, but family; each member trusted, valued and united. One for all, all for one. Thank you Colin and Caden for proving that architecture is not just about structures, but about people, vision and legacy.”

- Av. Ezekiel Psaila , Alez Developments.

“We have been working with Maniera Architects for several years and the experience has always been outstanding. They are exceptionally knowledgeable, efficient, and consistently deliver results that make the process as smooth as possible. What sets them apart is Perit Colin Zammit’s availability – always ready to offer clear advice and guidance whenever needed. His professionalism and dedication give us complete confidence, and we are delighted to now also be working with his son, who we are certain will carry forward the same high standards.”

- Sam Vella , Approved Ltd..

“Grech and Co LTD have employed the services of Perit Colin for well over 15 years. He is exceptional, in every regard; pragmatic, efficient and results driven. The addition of his son Caden has strengthened his services offered through Caden’s youthful drive and outstanding IT skills. Well done both.”

- Chris Grech , Grech and Co Ltd.

“Working with Colin and Caden has been a real asset to our company. Their input has been invaluable in assisting us when acquiring new sites and shaping our vision both in the hotel and property development industry. Colin brings years of experience and professionalism while Caden’s energy under the guidance of his father and his drive to modernise the practice through innovative tools and forward-thinking ideas has elevated the firm to a standard that I can personally attest is absolutely fantastic. Together we make a strong, creative and results driven team.

Thank you, Colin, and Caden for your patience, vision and your constant availability to answer questions, irrespective of what hour or day it is.”

- Robert Zammit , Luxfair Group.

“I have had the privilege of knowing Architect Colin Zammit from the very earliest days of his career, right after he graduated. For me, Colin has never been just an architect – he has been a trusted friend with whom I have shared the past 35 years, both personally and professionally.

Over these decades, I have had the unique opportunity to witness his journey, to see him grow into one of the most skilled and respected professionals in his field. His advice has always been precise, insightful, and invaluable – a reflection of his deep knowledge and innate talent. No matter how complex the challenge, Colin has consistently risen to the occasion, and together with his outstanding team, has delivered solutions of the highest standard, time and time again.

What sets Colin apart is not only his technical expertise, but also his integrity, dedication, and the passion he brings to every project. He has the rare ability to balance vision with practicality, always ensuring that the end result exceeds expectations while remaining firmly grounded in sound design and functionality.

It is for all these reasons that I wholeheartedly recommend his services without hesitation. As Colin now begins to hand over the baton to his younger son Caden, I do so with complete confidence that the legacy of excellence, creativity, and professionalism he has built will continue seamlessly into the next generation. I see in Caden the same spark, commitment, and brilliance that defined Colin’s career, and I have no doubt that he will carry forward this proud tradition with equal distinction.

Colin’s journey has been one of consistency, excellence, and trust – qualities that are rare to find and impossible to replace. I am honoured to have walked this path alongside him and look forward to witnessing the next chapter as Caden continues what his father has so successfully built.”

- Colin Aquilina , Rocs Group.
