We had an integral garage in a chalet style house, as such the walls
were already supporting the house above so it was not a problem to
integrate it as a conversion which is what a number of people did just
by bricking up the front and adding a window. The floor already had a
DPM so this just needed screeding to make the floor right and the walls
had to be plastered. The conversions made the houses warmer because the
insulation between the rooms above and the garage below was never that
good. Someone else mentioned the shape of the room, its worth putting in
as large a window as possible to get light to the back of the room.

Yup. And most of these built in garages are too small to take an average
car anyway.
