Dear members

I did not want build a typical house, but maybe my design we too different.

Could I also use "so" instead of "too" and still have the same meaning?

Thanks

: I did not want to build a typical house, but maybe my design was too different. "too different" means that the difference was greater than was appropriate, acceptable, etc. "so different" does not convey the same meaning and does not seem to fit very well in this sentence.
