Have you ever considered giving your deck a twist – literally?  The idea of changing up the edge, putting some plants beneath and making the whole thing more exciting seems like it might have application beyond the top of a building in Greenwich Village, NYC.

I would perhaps try this for a ground level deck or a deck that had or could have irregular edges.  Perhaps in a prairie style garden?  Would you consider this in a design?
