Garage conversion suits Irvine well. The garages are generally in good condition, the structure needs little remedial work, and staying inside the existing footprint keeps the project simple. What needs checking first is whether the association governing the property has anything to say about it.

Space you already own
A short scope on a sound structure
With a sound slab and sound framing, the work is insulation, services, egress, light and closing the vehicle opening convincingly. In newer construction that list is usually shorter than in older housing.
Association and parking, both first
Removed parking may need replacing, and an association may govern how the frontage can change. Both are settled before design rather than during it.
