Later addition (not in axis with) to the Palace. Due to an inscription found in the northern court archaeologists think it was erected hastily in the year of elevation to co-regency os Smenkhare, during the 15th year of reign of Akhenaten. The building has a rectangular plan, covering an area of 130 x 135 metres, is notable for the large number of brick piers (544 in the main central part). and for a northern court with a sunken area flanked by other rooms with pillars. It served as banqueting hall.
