Have got my eye on a new house which contains an integral garage. If I manage to purchase the house (offer been more or less accepted, just waiting for my house to sell, but almost there I think), the plan will be to convert the integral garage again. This time, as the property is almost new and also as it is integral, the project is going to need full building regs and planning approval, so I am already researching a suitable design which will easily exceed current regs. The plan this time will be to create more of an Office / Studio / Games room, so this time I think the Vocal Booth will be left off the design in favour of a ceiling mounted projector and Playstation 3 :) with all AV cabling installed etc....
As permitted development rights to convert the garage have been removed for the property (this seems to be more and more common nowadays with parking at a premium), an additional parking space across the small front garden might be required. This is a bit of a headache as it also means getting the kerbside dropped by the Council too, however, worth it in the end I reckon.
Looking forward to getting the old jigsaw out again.
