'''Scharinska villan''' in [[Umeå]] is a [[pink]] building at the [[Storgatan, Umeå|Storgatan]] 63-65 next to [[Döbelns park]]. Scharinska villan was drawn by [[Ragnar Östberg]] and erected 1904-1905 for [[Egil Unander-Scharin]] and his family. In the 1950s the building also housed the family business [[AB Scharins Söner]].

The exterior of the building is somewhat [[Victorian]] with gable crest over the windows, with prominent arched windows on the ground floor, and small [[Rococo]] inspired balconies of wrought iron. The house is three stories high, with a rather strange volume offset to one side which is contrasting with the otherwise consistent symmetry. The refurbish [[facade]] is slightly reddish with a [[frieze]] under the third floor's row of windows. Also the interior is lavish with wood-paneled walls, except in the so-called ''Spanish Hall'', whose renovated walls are covered in mosaics from Spain.
