Here . In the Davis complex described by the basic construction of a Coxeter group, the fundamental chamber is the order complex ofit consists of two triangles sharing the edge from to . Four labelled copies are glued along their - and -mirrors. The result is a square subdivided from its centre to the midpoints and vertices of its boundary, with eight triangular chambers.
For the poset description, the spherical cosets consist of four singleton cosets , four cosets of rank-one parabolics, and the single coset . Their flag realization has one vertex at each original square vertex, one at each edge midpoint, and one at the square centre; its flags are precisely the same eight triangles. Thus the two requested drawings are the chamber-gluing picture and the barycentric subdivision of a square, respectively.
