Kirchmann appeared in the 2017 season of Bravo’s Million Dollar Listing New York with real estate broker Fredrik Eklund, who shows several units from Kirchmann's development at 25 and 27 Mercer Street.

In 2016 Kirchmann collaborated with Fabien Baron to design the DOGPOUND, an exclusive gym located in the West Village and reportedly frequented by Hollywood celebrities, Olympic athletes, and Victoria's Secret Angels, including Elsa Hosk, Adriana Lima, Josephine Skriver, and Romee Strijd.

In 2015 Kirchmann designed the extensive renovation of the low income, 625-unit Marcus Garvey Village spread across nine city blocks, in the Brownsville section of Brooklyn. Originally designed in 1973 by Kenneth Frampton, the project achieved notability at the time for its innovative urban planning approach to low-rise, high-density affordable housing. The renovated property was awarded the Building Brooklyn Award for Affordable Housing Preservation and the Affordable Housing Magazine Award of Excellence.

Kirchmann has designed more than 4,000 units of low-income housing that have been completed in New York City, including the redevelopment at Arverne View (formerly known as Ocean Village) in Rockaway, Queens, a region that was devastated by Hurricane Sandy in 2012.

Kirchmann is a frequent lecturer and juror at Harvard University, New York University, Cityscape, MIPIM, the Architectural Association, Parsons School of Design, and the University of Pennsylvania. He taught in the Masters of Science in Real Estate program at Columbia University from 2010 to 2015 with SOM partner Chris Cooper and Vishaan Chakrabarti.

In 2007, and after a 10-year tenure at SOM, Kirchmann founded GDSNY, a design and real estate development firm with offices in New York. Notable projects include the Bahrain Bay master plan, 149 Kent Avenue in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, the DOGPOUND gyms in New York and Los Angeles, and 25 Mercer.

In 1997, he joined SOM in New York City, where he became a Director of the New York office. Notable completed projects include the corporate headquarters of Oracle in Paris, the Arcapita headquarters in Bahrain, and the Park Hotel in Hyderabad, which is the first LEED Platinum certified hotel in India. Kirchmann worked with SOM partner Roger Duffy on these projects.
