Context — Outside the Temple
12Now the building that faced the temple courtyard on the west was seventy cubits wide, and the wall of the building was five cubits thick all around, with a length of ninety cubits.
13Then he measured the temple to be a hundred cubits long, and the temple courtyard and the building with its walls were also a hundred cubits long.
14The width of the temple courtyard on the east, including the front of the temple, was a hundred cubits.
15Next he measured the length of the building facing the temple courtyard at the rear of the temple, including its galleries on each side; it was a hundred cubits. The outer sanctuary, the inner sanctuary, and the porticoes facing the court, 16as well as the thresholds and the beveled windows and the galleries all around with their three levels opposite the threshold, were overlaid with wood on all sides. They were paneled from the ground to the windows, and the windows were covered.Ezekiel 41:14 Summary

Of the separate place: this explains the other, say some, the house is the separate place; or else, as others, that other building on the west end of the temple, which was of equal dimensions with the temple. An hundred cubits; measuring from the north point along by the eastern front to the south point, or corner of the building or wall.

Cambridge Bible on Ezekiel 41:14
14. Two measurements of 100 cubits from N. to S. The front of the house buildings, the “separate place” on each side of them being included, gives 100 cubits, namely, 20 (breadth of house) + 6 + 6 (side walls) + 4 + 4 (side-chambers) + 5 + 5 (walls of side-chambers) + 5 + 5 (remainder of raised basement) + 20 + 20 (separate place) = 100, Fig. 3, lm.
Barnes' Notes on Ezekiel 41:14
Toward the east - The separate place was measured on its eastern side, for the western was not approachable for the purpose of measurement.
