IR is unsuitable for this project since it is line of sight.
If you are intending this to be a useful and practical device, then it is better to just purchase one. Alarm systems like this are now easily available for under $50 on eBay. It will be nearly impossible to replicate the tiny keychain remote for most home builders.
If this is a learning exercise, then I would start with two premade RF modules. A Google search should turn up many manufacturers. These modules accept serial data which can come from a microcontroller. The heart of the system is of course the microcontroller which will coordinate all the functions. Now it just becomes a software exercise.
