Abstract
We introduce the annex of an element in a Coxeter group as the set of elements such that with respect to Bruhat order. This notion provides a complementary perspective to the study of Bruhat intervals and their interpretation via folded galleries. We establish general properties of annexes and show that in affine Coxeter groups the annex of any fixed element is finite. In rank-two affine Coxeter complexes, we further describe the geometric structure of annex boundaries using descent sets and configurations of parallel reflections. These results offer a new geometric viewpoint on the structure of the Bruhat order.
